Abstract:

The association of autoimmune hypothyroidism with Nephrotic syndrome is a rare but significant since it is amenable to Levothyroixine therapy with a good prognosis. It is suspected in patients presenting with overlapping features of both disease conditions with supportive laboratory parameters. We describe the case of a 25 year old individual who presented with nephrotic syndrome associated with underlying autoimmune thyroiditis and was successfully treated with Levothyroixine to attain long lasting remission.

Keywords:Autoimmune disorder, Hypothyroidism, Levothyroixine Therapy, Nephrotic Syndrome, Prednisone therapy
