Membranous nephropathy is described in a patient with nail-patella syndrome who also had the characteristic changes of nail-patella syndrome nephropathy on electron microscopy. This combination has not previously been reported. Nail-patella syndrome nepthropathy is reviewed in relation to other glomerular lesions which have been reported.
