IgA nephropathy is the most common primary glomerulonephritis, but the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy is still unclear. A 32-year-old woman was found to have IgA nephropathy and acute myeloid leukaemia. She was treated with allogenic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). After BMT, immunoflourescent staining of IgA and proteinuria disappeared. These findings suggest bone marrow cells are involved in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy. We herein report a case of complete remission of IgA nephropathy after BMT for acute myeloid leukaemia.
IgA肾病是最常见的原发性肾小球肾炎,但IgA肾病的发病机制仍不清楚。一名32岁女性被发现患有IgA肾病和急性髓系白血病。她接受了异基因骨髓移植(BMT)治疗。BMT后,IgA免疫荧光染色和蛋白尿消失。这些发现提示骨髓细胞参与了IgA肾病的发病机制。我们在此报告一例急性髓系白血病患者在接受BMT后IgA肾病完全缓解的病例。
