Lipid-rich Glomerular Capillary Thrombi, of a Patient with Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 77-year-old woman was diagnosed nephrotic syndrome with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM). Renal biopsy revealed MPGN-like lesions with extensive glomerular capillary thrombi which were positive for anti-IgM and anti-lambda-light chain immunofluorescence. The electron microscopy showed characteristic thrombi intra glomerular capillary walls which were occupied with a lot of vacuoles. These structures were similar with them of lipoprotein glomerulopathy. The patient was started to treat with R-CHOP, and then nephrotic syndrome and her renal insufficiency were completely recovered. There were no previous reports of nephrotic syndrome and acute renal failure caused by oil-rich intracapillary thrombi in WM in the literature.

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis complicating Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia
BACKGROUND Lymphoproliferative disorders causing paraproteinemia can be associated with various kidney injuries including the deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulins (Ig). A known glomerular manifestation of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia is characterized by prominent intracapillary hyaline thrombi and lack of conspicuous glomerular proliferation. The present case was special in 2 aspects: 1....
متن کاملOverview on clinical trials in Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia
2014 Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia is characterized by lymphoplasmocytic cells accumulation predominantly in bone marrow, secreting immunoglobulin M monoclonal protein. There is not a standard of care as disease is rare and there are no large randomized trials to address treatment. Asymptomatic patients should be observed. In symptomatic patients treatment should be individualized considering...

Case Report: A 78-year-old male with relapsed Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia following therapy with chlorambucil underwent a five-week course of TBI. The total dose delivered was 1.5 Gy, given as 0.15 Gy twice weekly for ten sessions. During the course of therapy his CD4 cells increased from 637 (cells/mm3) to 808 partly through treatment and then declined to 654 at the completion of therapy. ...
متن کاملGlomerular thrombi in renal allografts associated with cyclosporin treatment.
We have found glomerular capillary thrombi or afferent arteriolar thrombosis in eight renal biopsy specimens from seven renal allograft recipients. All patients were receiving cyclosporin and prednisolone. Biopsies were performed either routinely one and four weeks after transplantation or during periods of renal dysfunction. None of the patients whose biopsy material contained glomerular throm...
متن کاملLipoprotein Glomerulopathy Associated with a Mutation in Apolipoprotein E
Lipoprotein glomerulopathy is a pathological condition characterized by lipid accumulation in the glomerular capillaries that has been associated with the presence of rare mutants of apolipoprotein E (ApoE). We describe a 51-year-old Italian patient presenting Type III hyperlipidemia and proteinuria in whom renal biopsy showed capillary ectasia and intraluminal lipid deposits, suggesting the di...
