| Popis: | Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon ulcerative cutaneous condition of an unknown etiology and is often associated with immune diseases. However, PG rarely shows visceral involvement, especially in the kidney. A 20-year-old female presented with pedal edema and skin ulceration of both lower limbs. The skin lesion began as an erythematous plaque and then became a blister. She also complained of abdominal distension and a decreasing urine volume. Laboratory data showed high proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and hyperlipidemia. Her skin and kidney were biopsied. The pathological results indicated PG and immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. The patient was finally cured with prednisolone in combination with cyclosporine A (CsA). |
