Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) is a low-grade lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma characterized by a circulating monoclonal IgM. Renal involvement in classical cases of WM is rare, and the pathological hallmark finding in the renal biopsy specimen is a thrombotic microangiopathy. We report the case of a 69-year-old man with the diagnosis of WM for 3 months before he presented with acute renal failure (ARF). A renal biopsy performed suggested the diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis. The diagnosis of ARF related to IgM flare after Rituximab therapy was made.
华氏巨球蛋白血症(WM)是一种以循环单克隆IgM为特征的低度淋巴浆细胞淋巴瘤。在经典的WM病例中,肾脏受累情况罕见,肾活检标本中的病理标志性发现是血栓性微血管病。我们报告了一例69岁男性病例,该患者在诊断为WM 3个月后出现急性肾衰竭(ARF)。肾脏活检提示急性肾小管坏死的诊断。最终诊断为利妥昔单抗治疗后与IgM激增相关的ARF。
