Abstract

This case report illustrates an acute presentation of hemoptysis in a 21-year-old man from a TB endemic region. Further clinical evaluation resulted in extensive hypercoagulability complications of nephritic syndrome due to idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN.) This emphasizes that proteinuria seen at a subnephrotic level, or on urine dipstick in a setting where glomerular disease might not be initially apparent, may warrant a keener look.
