Chronic graft-versus-host disease complicated by membranous glomerulonephritis

Nephrotic syndrome associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

“…[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] In all these reports, similar to our series, the most common pathological finding on renal biopsy was membranous glomerulonephritis (11 of the 13) and much less commonly minimal change disease (two of 13). The diseases for which transplantation was performed included chronic myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, aplastic anemia and acute leukemia.…”

Renal pathology in hematopoietic cell transplantation recipients

“…[4][5][6][14][15][16][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] In our series, among seven patients with membranous glomerulonephritis, all five patients with allogeneic transplants had evidence of chronic graft-versushost disease, (in the non-membranous glomerulonephritis cohort, only three out of eight patients had chronic graft-versus-host disease). Importantly, we also present two patients with biopsy proven membranous glomerulonephritis after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation.…”

Nephrotic Syndrome after Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

“…Hepatitis B and C serologies and antinuclear antibody (ANA) titers were within normal limits. The patient began to take prednisone 20 to HUP in July 2003 with dyspnea on exertion, foamy urine, facial edema, and a rash on his face and on both arms for 1 wk. His medications had included CsA for GVHD prophylaxis until 1 mo before presentation.…”
