Abstract
A patient with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) in remission developed the nephrotic syndrome 17 years after the onset of the disease. A renal biopsy showed diffuse extracapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis without immune complex deposits. The patient was treated with glucocortico-steroids and cyclophosphamide. Extracapillary glomerulonephritis without immune complex deposits appears to be a rare complication of JCA.
