About 70%-80% of patients with primary membranous nephropathy (MN) have phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) in renal tissue. Systemic light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common type of amyloidosis. MN complicated with amyloidosis is rare.
A 48-year-old Chinese male presented with nephrotic syndrome, positive serum PLA2R antibody, and positive serum and urine IgG-lambda type M-protein, with a normal ratio of serum-free light-chain level. The patient was diagnosed with MN accompanied by AL amyloidosis. He was treated with rituximab with glucocorticoids and CyBorD regimen of chemotherapy. After 21 mo of follow-up, the patient achieved complete remission regarding nephrotic syndrome without adverse effects of chemotherapy.
We report a case of PLA2R-related MN complicated with primary AL amyloidosis only with renal involvement and successfully treated with rituximab, glucocorticoids and chemotherapy.
约70%-80%的原发性膜性肾病(MN)患者肾组织中有磷脂酶A2受体(PLA2R)。系统性轻链(AL)淀粉样变性是最常见的淀粉样变性类型。MN合并淀粉样变性罕见。
一名48岁中国男性,表现为肾病综合征,血清PLA2R抗体阳性,血清及尿液IgG-λ型M蛋白阳性,血清游离轻链水平比值正常。该患者被诊断为MN伴AL淀粉样变性。给予利妥昔单抗联合糖皮质激素及CyBorD化疗方案治疗。随访21个月后,患者肾病综合征完全缓解,无化疗不良反应。
我们报告1例仅累及肾脏的PLA2R相关MN合并原发性AL淀粉样变性病例,经利妥昔单抗、糖皮质激素及化疗成功治疗。
