We herein present a case of a 14-year-old boy with the histological features of coexisting membranous nephropathy (MN) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Asymptomatic hematuria/proteinuria was initially detected in school urinary screening, with treatments including oral corticosteroids leading to complete remission. Cases of coexisting MN and IgAN are very rare among the pediatric population; however, the overlap of these two nephropathies does not always imply a deleterious clinical outcome in pediatric cases.

D015433 Glomerulonephritis, Membranous A type of glomerulonephritis that is characterized by the accumulation of immune deposits (COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX) on the outer aspect of the GLOMERULAR BASEMENT MEMBRANE. It progresses from subepithelial dense deposits, to basement membrane reaction and eventual thickening of the basement membrane.
