Turner syndrome is usually accompanied with various anomalies.
Congenital urological and renal
abnormalities are often associated with this
syndrome. The occurrence of
glomerulonephritis is uncommon. An 18-year-old
woman showed
fatigue and profound
proteinuria. She had been diagnosed with
Turner syndrome in her age of 15. The
kidney biopsy specimen examined by
light microscopy,
immunofluorescence and
electron microscopic examination revealed
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. This is the first case
report of
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in
turner syndrome in
South Korea.
