We report a case with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy, showing IgA deposition which disappeared after peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). In 1996, a 28-year-old man was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy by renal biopsy. Steroid therapy improved proteinuria from 3 g/day to 1 g/day. In 2003, he received PBSCT following the initial therapy for ALL. After complete remission, urinary protein and hematuria remained at between (-) and (+/-). In 2004, the second renal biopsy specimen revealed no deposit of IgA or C3. These findings suggested that immune reconstruction with PBSCT following immunosuppression therapy was of benefit to IgA nephropathy.
我们报告一例免疫球蛋白A(IgA)肾病患者,其IgA沉积在接受急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)外周血干细胞移植(PBSCT)后消失。1996年,一名28岁男性经肾活检确诊为IgA肾病。类固醇治疗使蛋白尿从每日3克降至每日1克。2003年,他在接受ALL初始治疗后接受了PBSCT。完全缓解后,尿蛋白和血尿维持在(-)至(+/-)之间。2004年,第二次肾活检标本显示无IgA或C3沉积。这些发现提示,免疫抑制治疗后进行PBSCT的免疫重建对IgA肾病有益。
