Abstract :

 Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is generally associated with hypothyroidism. It affects ~2% of the female population and 0.2% of the male population.

The most common renal diseases observed in AIT are memanous nephropathy, memanoproliferative glomerulonephritis, minimal change disease, IgA nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA) vasculitis, and amyloidosis. Here I present a case of a young female who had an autoimmune involvement of thyroid and kidney and responded to treatment
