Abstract: To the Editor:Podocytic infolding glomerulopathy (PIG) was proposed as a new disease entity in 2008,[1] and great attention has been paid to PIG because of the rare pathological changes to glomeruli associated with it.PIG is characterized by specific changes to the thickened glomerular basement membrane (GBM),including microspheres,microtubular structures,and podocytic infolding.However,the clinical features and pathogenesis of PIG still remain unclear.To elucidate the characteristics of this glomerulopathy,accumulating more information from reported cases is necessary.Herein,we present a case of glomerulopathy showing podocytic infolding in association with primary Sj(o)gren's syndrome (pSS) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
