   Introduction
 
Niemann-Pick (NP) disease is an autosomal recessive lipid-storage disorder. There are three types, designated types A, B and C. The latter (NP-C) is biochemically distinct from the first two in that it involves defective intracellular processing and transport of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-derived cholesterol. The clinical manifestations of NP-C are heterogeneous and characterized by hepatosplenomegaly and progressive neurological dysfunction [1]. Renal involvement is uncommon in NP disease, although some cases have been reported in patients with types A or B [2]. We report here a case of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II (MPGN II) observed in a patient with NP-C disease.
