Familial mediterranean fever is characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and polyserositis. Familial mediterranean fever is an autosomal recessive disease. Familial mediterranean fever is commonly seen in Jewish, Arab, Turkish and Armenian. The most important and prognosis-determining complication is kidney involvement. The most common cause of kidney involvement is AA type amyloidosis. Effective ad common use of colchicine decreased amyloidosis frequency when compared to before. It has been reported that frequency of amyloidosis in patients who don't use colchicine is around 20-25% in our country. During the course of familial mediterranean fever, renal pathologies such as glomerulonephritis can be seen other than amyloidosis. Here we present a patient with familial mediterranean fever and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
Ailevi Akdeniz Ateşi ateş ve seröz zarların iltihabı ile ortaya çıkan tekrarlayan ataklar ile karakterize, otozomal resesif bir hastalıktır. En sık Musevi, Arap, Türk ve Ermenilerde görülür. Ailesel Akdeniz ateşinin en önemli ve prognozu belirleyen komplikasyonu böbrek tutulumudur. En sık böbrek tutulumu nedeni AA tipi amiloidozdur. Kolşisinin etkin ve yaygın kullanımı amiloidoz sıklığını eskiye nazaran azaltmıştır. Ülkemizde amiloidoz sıklığı kolşisin kullanmayanlarda %20-25 civarında olduğu bildirilmiştir. Ailevi Akdeniz Ateşi seyri sırasında nadir olarak glomerulonefrit gibi amiloidoz dışında böbrek patolojileri de görülebilmektedir. Burada Ailesel Akdeniz ateşi ve Membranaproliferatif glomerolonefrit birlikteliği görülen bir olgu sunuyoruz.
