Cryoglobulinemic Glomerulonephritis Associated With Nodal and Renal Infiltration by T-Cell Lymphoma of T-Follicular Helper Phenotype: A Case Report.
American Journal of Kidney Diseases 2018 October
We present a unique case of cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis associated with nodal and renal infiltration by T-cell lymphoma of T-follicular helper phenotype. The patient presented with transient neurologic symptoms, severe nephritic syndrome with nephrotic-range proteinuria, and acute kidney injury. He had elevated double-stranded DNA levels, low complement levels, detectable cryoglobulin, and detectable immunoglobulin M (IgM) paraprotein. The kidney biopsy showed cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis with a membranoproliferative pattern and diffuse interstitial infiltrates on light microscopy; IgM, C3 but weak IgG, C1q, and negative C4d staining on immunofluorescence; and deposits with organized substructures on electron microscopy. Positron emission tomography showed diffuse uptake in bilaterally enlarged kidneys and a localized group of lymph nodes. Subsequent lymph node biopsy revealed Epstein-Barr virus-negative nodal T-cell lymphoma, which was also proven in renal tissue. The association between T-cell lymphoma, autoantibodies, and cryoglobulinemia may represent a paraneoplastic phenomenon. His renal prognosis has been excellent, but overall prognosis and survival is dictated by the clinical course of T-cell lymphoma.
