In female patient, aged 41, 3 years ago appeared skin changes of urticarial type, and occasional pain in the joints of shoulders and hands, followed by complete weakness and exhaustion, as well as the occurrence of face and eyelid edema. Laboratory findings confirmed the presence of hypocomplentemia with proteinuria, microhematuria and cylindruria. Histopathologic (HP) finding of skin biopsy was leukocytoclastic vasculitis, and HP finding of the kidneys was mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis. The regression of skin changes was observed during hospitalization after Dapsone was administered. The therapy started with corticosteroids (Prednisone 40 mg/day with weekly dose from 5 mg to 30 mg). In spite of the therapy, hypocomplementemia and proteinuria up to 335 mg/24 h have maintained for a year in the later controls in an outpatient department. The patient is without discomfort, and renal function is stable.
