Searching for the minimum required dose of daratumumab to induce effective plasma cell depletion in antibody-mediated rejection of the kidney graft: a case report.

There is no established treatment for late or chronic antibody-mediated rejection of a kidney graft. Rituximab-based treatment is not effective, since long-lived high-affinity plasma cells do not express CD20 and do not depend on previous maturation steps to generate donor-specific antibodies. Conversely, daratumumab, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, directly targets plasma cells, with proven efficacy in multiple myeloma.

Recently, as the number of cancer patients has increased, much research is being conducted for efficient treatment, including the use of artificial intelligence in genitourinary pathology. Recent research has focused largely on the classification of renal cell carcinoma subtypes. Nonetheless, the broader categorization of renal tissue into non-neoplastic normal tissue, benign tumor and malignant tumor remains understudied.

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a non-neoplastic proliferation and macrophage activation that induces cytokine-mediated bone marrow suppression and features of intense phagocytosis in the bone marrow and liver, leading to multi-organ dysfunction and ultimate failure. The diagnosis of HLH in an intensive care setting is challenging, and it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. HLH-94 is the standard protocol for treatment, consisting of dexamethasone and chemotherapy like etoposide.

Perinephric myxoid pseudotumor of fat (PMPF) is a recently described and rare retroperitoneal mass-forming lesion whose clinical significance chiefly involves mimicry of a variety of soft tissue tumors. For unknown reasons, it commonly occurs in male patients with underlying non-neoplastic renal diseases and/or type 2 diabetes (DMT2). A total of 55 cases have been reported in the literature.

Article Synopsis
- Calcified amorphous tumors of the heart are rare, non-cancerous masses made up of calcified nodules and fibrous tissue, often linked to conditions like mitral annular calcification, especially in patients with kidney issues.
- A case study of a 77-year-old woman with lung cancer revealed a tumor in her heart, which was surgically removed and identified as a calcified amorphous tumor, despite her normal kidney function.
- The findings imply that there may be a connection between calcified amorphous tumors and cancer, potentially due to alterations in blood coagulation from the malignancy.
