We report a patient with relapsing nephrotic syndrome since the age of 4. Initial renal biopsy showed minimal change disease then focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. At the age of 21, he developed pulmonary tuberculosis, was treated with intermittent combination chemotherapy including rifampin and had oliguric acute or chronic renal failure 5 months later. Biopsy revealed crescentic membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. The cause of the sequential glomerulonephritis is discussed.

D005923	Glomerulosclerosis, Focal Segmental	A clinicopathological syndrome or diagnostic term for a type of glomerular injury that has multiple causes, primary or secondary. Clinical features include PROTEINURIA, reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE, and EDEMA. Kidney biopsy initially indicates focal segmental glomerular consolidation (hyalinosis) or scarring which can progress to globally sclerotic glomeruli leading to eventual KIDNEY FAILURE.

D015432	Glomerulonephritis, Membranoproliferative	Chronic glomerulonephritis characterized histologically by proliferation of MESANGIAL CELLS, increase in the MESANGIAL EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX, and a thickening of the glomerular capillary walls. This may appear as a primary disorder or secondary to other diseases including infections and autoimmune disease SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS. Various subtypes are classified by their abnormal ultrastructures and immune deposits. Hypocomplementemia is a characteristic feature of all types of MPGN.
