A rare case of nephrotic syndrome and kidney failure occurred in a boy post-bone marrow transplant (BMT). Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was implicated in this diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Immunology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a life-saving procedure for hematologic malignancies.
  • Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication following allogeneic BMT.
  • Nephrotic syndrome post-BMT is typically associated with membranous nephropathy.

Observation:

  • A 15-year-old boy developed nephrotic syndrome and acute renal failure 4 years after allogeneic BMT for chronic myelocytic leukemia.
  • Clinical presentation included features of chronic GVHD and cholestatic liver injury.
  • Renal biopsy revealed diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis with cellular crescents.

Findings:

  • Treatment with methylprednisolone and oral prednisolone led to partial renal function improvement but persistent nephrotic state.

Related Experiment Videos

  • A second biopsy showed improved tubular necrosis and crescent organization.
  • Cyclophosphamide therapy resulted in gradual reduction of proteinuria.
  • The case presented diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis, distinct from the more common membranous nephropathy post-BMT.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare complication of chronic GVHD manifesting as diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis.
    • The findings suggest a potential role for cellular immunity in GVHD-related kidney injury.
    • Aggressive immunosuppressive therapy may attenuate the renal pathology in such cases.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the cellular immune mechanisms involved.
