Abstrè

This case was a 51-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis at some clinic and had been treated with both non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and steroid 3 years before visiting our clinic. When she noticed a decrease in visual acuity and general fatigue in June 1985, she was referred to an ophthalmologist of our hospital, and found to have blood pressure of 240/150 mmHg and KW grade IV retinal findings. She was admitted in our department to examine and treat malignant hypertension. On admission, remarkable hypergammaglobulinemia (29.3%), arthralgia, arthral deformity and pericardial effusion were present thus, she was suspected to be suffering from malignant rheumatoid arthritis. Anti-nuclear antibody (64X), anti-nuclear ribonucleoprotein antibody (64X) and anti-RNase sensitive antibody of anti-extractable nuclear antigens (ENA) antibody (81920X) were positive, while anti-RNase resistant antibody of anti-ENA antibody was negative. Immunologically, her condition was consistent with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). Since urinary protein was positive and creatinine clearance was 46.0 ml/min, renal function was thought to be diminished. Her chest roentgenogram revealed cardiomegaly (CTR 67.5%) and an increase in pulmonary vascular shadow. An echocardiogram demonstrated the presence of pericardial effusion. Plasma renin activity was 3.3 ng/ml/h and it was suspected that an intrarenal ischemic change resulted in increased renin release from the juxta-glomerular apparatus, leading to the marked hypertension. Treatment was started with prednisolone 60 mg/day during 4 weeks.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
