Nearly 30% of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease have proteinuria w1x. Membranous glomerulonephritis is the most common finding when thyroid disease is associated with nephrotic range proteinuria. There are only three previous reports of autoimmune thyroid disease and minimal change glomerular disease (MCD). We report the case of a patient in whom Graves’ disease and MCD were diagnosed simultaneously and in whom relapse of the Graves’ disease was invariably accompanied by relapse of MCD.
