Neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1) is a recently identified new antigen of membranous nephropathy (MN) mostly secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus with a low positive rate of 6.6%, and its corresponding antibody was detected in patients' sera. Here, we reported a case of NCAM1-positive lupus nephritis (class V+III) developed from MN. The patient was refractory to multiple immunosuppressive regimens but achieved remission after the application of rituximab as an add-on therapy and showed a reduction of anti-NCAM1 antibody and proteinuria.
神经细胞黏附分子1(NCAM1)是最近发现的膜性肾病(MN)的一种新抗原,大多继发于系统性红斑狼疮,阳性率较低,为6.6%,且在患者血清中检测到了其相应抗体。在此,我们报告了1例由MN发展而来的NCAM1阳性狼疮性肾炎(V+III型)病例。该患者对多种免疫抑制方案均耐药,但在应用利妥昔单抗作为附加治疗后病情缓解,抗NCAM1抗体和蛋白尿均减少。
