IgG4-related kidney disease with systemic Epstein-Barr virus infection: A case report
Abstract:
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a newly recognized multi-organ fibro-inflammatory condition with characteristic histopathological findings of increased IgG4+ plasma cells in tissue and usually with increased IgG4 serum levels. Kidney involvement in IgG4-RD has been well described since 2006. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has reportedly been associated with nodal IgG4-RD, but not in extra-nodal disease. We report a case of renal IgG4-RD in the setting of acute EBV infection in a young healthy man, resulting in severe renal failure. Biopsy of kidney revealed IgG4+ plasma cell-rich tubulointerstitial nephritis, tissue eosinophilia, early-stage membranous nephropathy, and scattered EBV-positive cells. Oral prednisone and acyclovir only partially rescued his renal function.
