  1. 53 yo female referred for elevated SCr (178 mmol/l, 28 ml/min) and change in symptoms….? connective tissue disease • Dx of hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis ~ 15 yrs ago • renal Bx same time  MPGN • ? cryoglobulins (+) • C1 esterase inhibitor low • given steroids+cyclophosphamide twice between 1995-97 • on dapsone since 1999 • SCr since 2002 130-180 mmol/l • was “severely nephrotic” at the time • SCr now 149 mmol/l • urine now • 3+ hematuria, 1+ proteinuria, • P:C ratio 42 mg/mmol • Hgb 85-95 x 10+yrs • microcytic, low retics • C3 0.42 (), ANA neg, anti dsDNA Ab neg, ENA neg • PTT, PT normal
