CHICO CAPOTE, Araceli et al. Collapsing Glomerulopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus with positive response to the treatment with mycophenolate mofetil. Rev cubana med [online]. 2018, vol.57, n.2, pp.1-6. ISSN 0034-7523.

Collapsing glomerulonefritis is a slightly frequent disease that can be associated to different causes. Autoimmune diseases are part of those, and inside these, the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It frequently appears with manifestations of severe renal alterations that tend to develop the renal terminal disease, with scanty response to the treatments. It is presented a case of collapsing glomerulonefritis associated to systemic lupus erythematosus that had a complete response to the treatment of induction with the combination of glucocorticoids, antimalarials and mycophenolate mofetil used prematurely after the early diagnosis performed by renal biopsy.

Palabras clave : collapsing glomerulopathy (GC); systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
