Abstract

Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a rheumatic disease with a combination of multiple connective tissue disorders, which includes dermatomyositis or polymyositis, systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren's syndrome.Renal involvement in mixed connective tissue disorder is a rare occurrence.We present a case of MCTD presenting with SRC managed with ACE Inhibitor (Captopril).The patient had advanced renal failure and presently on maintenance haemodialysis.
