Abstract Background Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults worldwide. A growing body of evidence indicates a pathogenic and autoimmune correlation between Helicobacter pylori infection, MN, and autoimmune liver disease. Case presentation A 47-year-old African American woman presented to our institution with epigastric pain and vomiting. In-patient hospital workup included a thorough abdominal evaluation including esophagogastroduodenoscopy and liver biopsy, which revealed active H. pylori infection and autoimmune hepatitis. The patient was incidentally also found to have nephrotic-range proteinuria. Renal workup including kidney biopsy established the diagnosis of MN. Proteinuria improved after initiation of triple therapy for H. pylori infection. Conclusion This case adds to the growing evidence of a correlation between H. pylori infection, MN, and autoimmune liver disease. This report demonstrates a unique case of a patient with MN, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH)/primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and HP who underwent triple-eradication antibiotic treatment that resulted in an ultimate resolution of all these conditions. |
