Summary

Late onset bone marrow transplantation (BMT) nephropathy can occur years after the procedure. This case highlights potential long-term renal complications following BMT, emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring.

Background:

Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a life-saving procedure for various hematologic and oncologic conditions.
Long-term complications following BMT require ongoing investigation to ensure patient safety and optimize outcomes.

Observation:

A patient developed proteinuria and renal failure 93 months post-BMT.
Renal biopsy revealed specific histological changes indicative of BMT-related kidney damage.

Findings:

Histological findings included segmental sclerosis, mesangiolysis, subendothelial lucency, interstitial fibrosis, and small round cell infiltration.
The observed pathology was consistent with late-onset bone marrow transplantation nephropathy.

Implications:

This case underscores the potential for delayed renal complications after BMT.
Increased BMT procedures in Japan may lead to a rise in BMT nephropathy cases.
Further research is needed to understand and manage late-onset BMT nephropathy.
