Two brothers with idiopathic membranous nephropathy and familial sensorineural deafness.

Genetic factors could play an important role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy, and a few cases of familial membranous nephropathy have been described: an increased incidence of some HLA antigens as DR3 and others has been reported. We present two brothers with idiopathic membranous nephropathy and sensorineural deafness. HLA typing was performed in the two patients and in the members of the family, and it showed the absence of linkage of an HLA antigen with the renal disease in the family.

IgA mesangial nephropathy associated with renal cell carcinoma.

The authors report the occurrence of proliferative glomerulonephritis with mesangial IgA deposits in a 47-year-old man, heavy smoker, affected with renal cell carcinoma at stage I. The relationship between neoplastic diseases and IgA glomerulonephritis is unresolved. It is possible that IgA mesangial nephropathy may occur as a paraneoplastic disease, but in this patient its association with renal cell carcinoma may be merely fortuitous.
