Immune-Complex Mediated Mesangial Proliferative Glomerulonephritis with Full-House Pattern Observed During Treatment of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
Clin Med Insights Case Rep
December 2024
Department of Nephrology and Endocrinology, National Defense Medical College, Tokorozawa, Japan.
This study reports a rare case of immune-complex mediated mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (ICGN) with a full-house pattern in a 56-year-old Japanese man, observed during the treatment of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Because of persistent complement deficiency and worsening of kidney function, he was treated with prednisolone, and his urinary findings improved markedly. However, as the complement titers were still low, mycophenolate mofetil was also prescribed, which normalized complement levels.

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide with heterogeneous histopathological phenotypes. Although IgAN with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN)-like features has been reported in children and adults, treatment strategies for this rare IgAN subtype have not been established. Here, we present the case of a 56-year-old man with no history of kidney disease who initially presented with nephrotic syndrome.

Department of Nephrology, University of Medicine, and Pharmacy "Iuliu Hatieganu" Cluj-Napoca, 8 Victor Babeș Street, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Purpose: To provide epidemiologic data on kidney biopsy from Romania.
Methods: Retrospective observational study of kidney biopsy records for adult patients from a referral center in the north-western part of Romania, reported for 2014-2023.
Results: 556 biopsies were performed, corresponding to an incidence of 12 biopsies/m person-year with over 50% increase over the last reported year.
A case report of an M protein-negative patient with POEMS syndrome associated with renal involvement.

Department of Nephrology, Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, 518000, China.
Background: POEMS syndrome with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M protein, and skin changes is an uncommon plasma cell paraneoplastic syndrome involving multiple system. It is relatively rare in clinical practice, and renal involvement is a usual yet easily overlooked symptom.
Case Presentation: We successfully treated a patient with M protein-negative POEMS syndrome with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) findings and thrombotic microangiopathic changes by comparing the level of Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the serum and the changes in polyserositis before and after the patient's treatment.
Monoclonal gammopathy is present in one fourth of patients undergoing renal biopsy but is pathogenic only in half of them.

Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation Unit, Careggi University Hospital, Largo Brambilla, 3, 50134, Florence, Italy.
Background: About 4-7% of renal biopsies show a monoclonal gammopathy-related nephropathy, such as AL amyloidosis, cast nephropathy, or light chain deposition disease. Both a high prevalence and a causal role of monoclonal gammopathy have been observed in patients with C3 glomerulopathy or thrombotic microangiopathy, although a definitive causative role cannot be established in most cases (potentially monoclonal gammopathy-related nephropathies). A coexisting monoclonal gammopathy has been identified in many cases of nephropathy without a defined causative role (monoclonal gammopathy-unrelated nephropathies).
