Article Synopsis
- Waldenstrom macroglobulinaemia (WM) is a type of cancer affecting the bone marrow and is often linked with kidney issues due to the production of abnormal IgM proteins.
- The case report discusses a 76-year-old male WM patient who developed a rare complication called ANCA-negative pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis (PICGN), which led to kidney damage.
- Treatment included high-dose steroids and chemotherapy, resulting in significant improvements in both his kidney function and overall health, suggesting that early diagnosis and intervention can benefit similar patients.
