Abstract
A male patient in his 60s was admitted to our hospital with symptoms of dyspnoea, asthenia, diaphoresis and acute kidney failure. No tumour or infection was detected in initial screening. However, laboratory examination suggested that the acute kidney failure was due to an intrarenal cause, exhibiting a tubular injury pattern and indications of tumour lysis syndrome. Initial hydration therapy, paired with intravenous rasburicase, rapidly improved the kidney function. Unfortunately, the kidney function deteriorated once again, prompting a kidney biopsy that revealed an aggressive diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the kidney. The chemotherapy, comprised of R-CHOP scheme, led to a full recovery of the kidney function and complete remission of the lymphoma. Primary renal non-Hodgkin lymphoma without nodal manifestation is rare, and its pathophysiology is poorly understood. Therapy schemes can vary significantly between cases, relying primarily on non-renal-specific haemato-oncological guidelines. Therefore, further studies are needed to develop the best therapeutic approaches.

Blockade of phosphodiesterase 5 by sildenafil reduces tumor growth and potentiates tumor-killing ability of cisplatin in vivo against T cell lymphoma: Implication of modulated apoptosis, reactive oxygen species homeostasis, glucose metabolism, and pH regulation. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2024; 39:1909-1922.

Abstract
In the past years, PDE5 has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for many cancers due to its highly upregulated expression. Interestingly, a recent in vitro study by our group has shown the antitumor and chemopotentiating action of sildenafil against T cell lymphoma. Our study showed that lower doses of sildenafil (50 μM) and cisplatin (0.5 μg/mL) exhibited 4% and 23% cytotoxicity against HuT78 cells, respectively, which was dramatically increased up to 50% when treated with both. Hence, the present study was designed to evaluate the antitumor and chemo-potentiating action of sildenafil in a murine model of T cell lymphoma (popularly called as Dalton's lymphoma [DL]). In the present study, DL-bearing mice were administered with vehicle (PBS), sildenafil (5 mg/kg bw), cisplatin (5 mg/kg bw), and sildenafil and cisplatin followed by evaluation of their impact on tumor growth by analyzing various parameters. The apoptosis was assessed by Wright-Giemsa, annexin-V, and DAPI staining. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was examined through DCFDA staining. The expression of genes and proteins were estimated by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The experimental findings of the study demonstrate for the first time that sildenafil inhibits tumor growth and potentiates tumor inhibitory ability of cisplatin by altering apoptosis, glycolysis, ROS homeostasis, and pH regulation in T cell lymphoma-carrying host. In addition, our investigation also showed amelioration of tumor-induced liver and kidney damage by sildenafil. Overall, the experimental data of our study strongly advocate the use and repurposing of SDF in designing promising chemotherapeutic regimens against malignancies of T cells.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) poses a substantial challenge in the management of lymphoma patients and is frequently associated with diverse causative factors. Herein, we report an illustrative case involving a 47-year-old male with influenza A infection who developed severe AKI, which was incongruent with his medical history. Laboratory investigations disclosed aberrant immunoglobulin levels and urinary protein excretion, prompting further evaluation. A renal biopsy revealed the presence of infiltrating lymphoid cells and cast nephropathy, raising suspicion of an underlying hematological disorder. A comprehensive diagnostic workup, including positron emission tomography imaging and bone marrow biopsy, culminated in the definitive diagnosis of splenic marginal zone lymphoma. This case highlights the crucial significance of including lymphoma-associated kidney disorders in the evaluation of unexplained AKI, particularly when encountering unconventional clinical and laboratory results. Swift and precise intervention is of utmost importance in attaining positive results in these rare and complex clinical situations. This study underscores the persistent concern of AKI in lymphoma patients, with lymphocytic infiltration and cast nephropathy as notable elements contributing to the intricate nature of this condition.

Abstract
There is an association between lymphomas and kidney disease with renal abnormalities found both in patients with direct infiltration by lymphoma as well as in patients without gross or microscopic evidence of renal involvement. Multiple mechanisms to explain the link between lymphomas and renal disease have been proposed, ranging from direct renal metastasis by the lymphoma to chemokine signaling pathways. In addition, there is a correlation between certain genetic mutations and an increased risk of lymphoma metastasizing to other organs. We present a case of a 41-year-old male who passed away due to end-stage kidney disease and was found on autopsy to have chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) without direct renal involvement by the lymphoma. The patient had been previously healthy with no significant prior medical history, NSAID, or other contributory medication use of note with the only presenting symptom being renal failure. Only upon autopsy was DLBCL discovered throughout the abdomen with no direct lymphoma involvement evident in the kidneys. To the author's knowledge, this is one of the few reported cases of DLBCL in English literature without renal infiltration in which the presenting symptom and cause of death was renal dysfunction. Several mechanisms have been theorized for how lymphomas can lead to kidney damage without direct metastasizes; however, more research still needs to be done to better understand the underlying etiology. Given the rarity and the lack of direct infiltration of lymphoma into the kidneys in this patient, we hope reporting this case will allow further advancements in this field of study as well as more comprehensive management.

Abstract
Patients with hematological malignancies (HMs) are at high risk of infections and comorbidities that substantially increase the occurrence of renal failure. Thus, the management of renal dysfunction in patients with HMs is crucial. The current study aimed to determine the incidence of renal involvement in patients with HMs and analyze their clinical profile in the context of renal disorders. A prospective observational study was conducted on 200 patients suffering from various HMs. Renal involvement was determined through blood and urine analyses. The mean age of the patients was 51.84 ± 17.47 years, with the male-to-female ratio being 1.5:1. Multiple myeloma (MM) (30.5%) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) (30.5%) were the most commonly observed types of HM, whereas plasmacytoma (1%) was the least observed. Moreover, 39.5% and 16.5% of patients were diagnosed with moderate and severe anemia, respectively. Mean calcium, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen levels were 8.97 ± 1.19 mg/dL, 1.41 ± 1.37 mg/dL, and 16.83 ± 14.50 mg/dL, respectively. Mean sodium, potassium, and uric acid levels were 135.49 ± 6.79 mEq/L, 4.157 ± 0.65 mEq/L, and 5.81 ± 2.82 mg/dL, respectively. Twelve percent of the patients (24 out of 200) presented with renal insufficiency and nephrotic syndrome. Ten patients were diagnosed with NHL, 10 patients with MM, two with chronic myeloid leukemia, and two with acute myeloid leukemia. The causes of renal impairment in most cases were patchy interstitial lymphoid infiltrates, cast nephropathy, acute tubular necrosis, and minimal change disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As a very rare form of B-cell lymphoma, plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) typically occurs in patients with underlying immunosuppression, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), organ transplantation, and autoimmune diseases. For HIV-positive patients, PBL normally originates in the gastrointestinal tract, especially from the oral cavity in most cases. It is extremely rare to find abdominal cavity involvement in PBL, and there has been no previously reported instance of proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immunoglobulin deposits (PGNMID) attributed to monoclonal IgG (MIgG) lambda secreted by PBL. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of an HIV-negative female with nephrotic syndrome, renal insufficiency, and multiple swollen lymph nodes. Ascitic fluid cytology revealed a high level of plasmablast-like lymphocytes with the restriction of lambda light chains. Besides, the renal biopsy revealed PGNMID, which could presumably be secondary to MIgG-lambda-secreting by PBL. MIgG-lambda-restricted expression was discovered earlier in the kidney tissue than in the blood. CONCLUSION The diagnostic landscape for PBL is notoriously intricate, necessitating a multifaceted and nuanced approach to mitigate the risks of erroneous identification.

Abstract
A 67-year-old man complained of lower limb edema with a purpuric skin rash. Laboratory tests revealed proteinuria, elevated serum creatinine levels, and low serum albumin levels. The patient was also positive for cryoglobulin in serum, immunoglobulin (Ig) M gammopathy, hypocomplementemia, and rheumatoid factor. He was negative for anti-hepatitis C virus antibodies. A pathological analysis of the renal tissue revealed membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, common histological features of cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (CV), and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma invasion. Although hematologic malignancy is a rare cause of type II CV, these clinical findings suggest that mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT) lymphoma may have been the cause in the present case.

Abstract
Lymphomatous involvement of the genitourinary system, particularly the kidneys, is commonly detected on autopsies; yet on conventional diagnostic imaging renal lymphoma is significantly underestimated and underreported, in part due to its variable imaging appearance and overlapping features with other conditions. We present a spectrum of typical and atypical appearances of renal lymphoma using multimodality imaging, while reviewing the roles of imaging in the detection, diagnosis, staging, and surveillance of patients with lymphoma. We also illustrate a breadth of benign and malignant entities with similar imaging features confounding the diagnosis of renal lymphoma, emphasizing the role of percutaneous image-guided biopsy. Understanding the spectrum of appearances of renal lymphoma and recognizing the overlapping entities will help radiologists improve diagnostic confidence and accuracy.

Abstract
Systemic AA amyloidosis is associated with systemic inflammatory processes such as autoimmune disorders or chronic infections. In addition, AA amyloidosis can develop in a localized or systemic form in patients with malignant neoplastic disorders, and usually involves kidneys impacting renal function. Among solid tumors, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) appears to be responsible for one-quarter to half of all cancers associated with amyloidosis. Among other solid cancers, various clinical presentation and pathological types of lung cancer and basal cell carcinoma skin were reported with AA amyloidosis more often than isolated case reports on other cancers with AA amyloidosis. Symptoms from kidney involvement rather than from the tumor per se were the presenting manifestations in cases of RCC associated with AA amyloidosis. Among hematological malignancies, clonal B cell/plasma cell dyscrasias such as monoclonal gammopathy and lymphoma were noted to be associated with AA amyloidosis. In addition, AA amyloidosis was reported in a substantial number of cases treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors such as pembrolizumab and nivolumab. The mechanism of association of cancer and AA amyloidosis seems to be mediated by the immune response exacerbated from the tumor and its microenvironment or immune therapy. The mainstay of treatment consists of therapy directed against the underlying malignancy or careful withdrawal of the offending agent. This review will discuss this rare but highly morbid clinical condition.

Abstract
Background Mantle cell lymphoma is the rarest subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It can exhibit diverse extranodal manifestations. However, renal involvement is uncommon, and if it occurs, it usually only gets detected postmortem. There are several mechanisms by which mantle cell lymphoma can damage the kidneys. Renal failure is a potential complication, and prompt evaluation and diagnosis are critical steps to prevent long-term complications. Case presentation We present the case of a 75-year-old non-Hispanic White male with past medical history significant for hypertension and dyslipidemia, presenting with fever, weight loss, and night sweats. Work-up showed markedly elevated white blood cells, multiple enlarged lymph nodes, and a kidney mass. The patient was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma with kidney involvement confirmed with a kidney biopsy. His disease was positive for cyclin D1 overexpression despite t(11; 14) absence. The patient received six cycles of alternating vincristine, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone then dexamethasone, high-dose cytarabine, and oxaliplatin, after which he was maintained on ibrutinib and rituximab, with resolution of symptoms and disease regression. Conclusion We present a case of a rare presentation of Mantle cell lymphoma while describing the clinical presentation and diagnostic and treatment approaches. This case report can assist physicians in the clinical work-up and treatment of patients with similar diagnosis or presentation.

Abstract
A woman in her 70s presented to the hospital being generally unwell 8 days following the first dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination. She was in stage III acute kidney injury (AKI) with hyperkalaemia and metabolic acidosis. Urinalysis showed haematoproteinuria. Renal immunology screen was negative. She subsequently underwent two renal biopsies. The second biopsy showed features consistent with acute tubulointerstitial nephritis. She was commenced on oral steroids, which led to marked improvement of her renal function.There are reasons why AKI can occur post vaccination such as prerenal AKI from reduced oral intake postvaccination due to feeling unwell or developing vomiting or diarrhoea. Intravenous fluids were given to this patient but with no meaningful improvement in renal function. She developed a possible reaction to the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, which led to AKI as supported by the interstitial inflammation and presence of eosinophils on renal biopsy.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a small phospholipid that acts as an extracellular lipid mediator. It promotes cancer progression by altering a wide array of cellular processes, including apoptosis, survival, angiogenesis, invasion, and migration through binding with its cognate receptors. Intriguingly, our previous study showed that in vitro treatment of LPA induced survival of T lymphoma cells. Hence, the present investigation was designed to investigate the antitumor potential of Ki16425, an antagonist of LPA receptors, against T cell lymphoma. Our in vitro results showed inhibition of LPA-mediated survival and metabolic activity of T lymphoma cells by Ki16425. Further, in vivo experimental findings indicated the tumor retarding potential of Ki16425 against T cell lymphoma through apoptosis induction, glycolysis inhibition, and immunoactivation. The administration of Ki16425 triggered apoptosis by down-regulating the expression of Bcl2 and up-regulating p53, Bax, cleaved caspase-3, and Cyt c expression. Further, Ki16425 suppressed glycolytic activity with concomitantly decreased expression of GLUT3 and MCT1. Moreover, we also noticed an elevated level of NO and iNOS in tumor cells after Ki16425 administration which might also be responsible for apoptosis induction and suppressed glycolysis. Additionally, we observed an increased population of total leukocytes, lymphocytes, and monocytes along with increased thymocytes count and IL-2 and IFN-γ levels. Besides, we observed amelioration of tumor-induced kidney and liver damages by Ki16425. Taken together, this is the first study that demonstrates that LPA receptors could be potential future therapeutic targets for designing promising therapeutic strategies against T cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Introduction: Renal manifestations associated with hematolymphoid malignancies are known. Primary or secondary involvement of the kidney by lymphomatous infiltration has various clinical presentations. Acute kidney injury is not an uncommon finding in relation to lymphomatous interstitial infiltration proven on kidney biopsy. However, diagnosing it solely on renal biopsy remains a challenge and needs expertise and aid of immunohistochemistry as the prognosis is dismal. Methods: This is a retrospective study of kidney biopsy-proven cases of renal lymphoma presenting with acute kidney injury. Results: The study included 12 patients with ages ranging from 4 to 50 years who presented with serum creatinine ranging 2.1–9.6 mg%. Renal biopsy findings showed interstitial lymphomatous infiltrate. Two cases were diagnosed as primary lymphoma and the other 10 as secondary lymphomas. Among the 12 cases, nine were B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, of which diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was diagnosed in six (50%), low-grade B-cell type in two (16.6%), chronic lymphocytic leukemia in one (8.3%), and three were T-cell-type. Two were acute T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma and one other was a high-grade T-cell lymphoma. Four patients succumbed. The other four patients are alive; one is on chemotherapy, while two of them are on hemodialysis. Conclusion: Acute kidney injury as a presenting feature with lymphomatous infiltration of renal parenchyma is not uncommon. The patchy involvement makes it challenging on kidney biopsy with definitive diagnosis being made with the help of immunohistochemistry. Appropriate multidisciplinary involvement improves patient outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Last few decades have seen a remarkable increase in the elderly population. Aging is an established risk factor for chronic kidney diseases associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The frequency and spectrum of renal pathology on autopsy specimen is not well documented and is often overlooked by physicians as well as forensic pathologists. AIM The present study aims to find out the prevalence and pattern of various types of renal pathologies, based on the histopathological analysis of renal tissue where autopsies were performed whether related or unrelated to renal diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study of six years consisted of 557 autopsies. The bits of 417 samples of kidney tissue/whole kidney, retrieved at the time of autopsy were received, processed, and examined. RESULTS The male to female ratio approximately was 2:1, and 83.69% of cases were in 11-50 years age groups. Among the 159 cases having definitive renal findings, the commonest pathologies were seen in tubules and interstitial tissues (58.49% cases), followed by 38.36% cases with involvement of all components of renal tissues. There were four cases of isolated vascular changes and one case having Hodgkin's lymphoma. The series had 12 cases of renal tuberculosis. CONCLUSIONS The study highlights the various lesions of kidney found in renal tissue obtained on autopsy. The physician as well as forensic pathologists must be aware of the high prevalence and wide spectrum of possible pathologies in the kidney. The focus should be to develop more efficacious diagnostic methods for timely intervention.

Abstract
Although rare, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) can include extramedullary manifestations, sometimes presenting as a solid tumor called a myeloid sarcoma. Myeloid sarcoma can be the cause of the initial presenting complaint before AML diagnosis, or may be detected as a sign of disease-relapse after treatment. Here, we report a case in which the initial presentation included abdominal discomfort and signs of kidney failure. Further investigation revealed signs of unilateral hydronephrosis. Due to a diagnostic delay, the patient was diagnosed with AML with extramedullary manifestation only after the development of full-blown leukemia. Biopsy of the compressive tumor confirmed an extramedullary myeloid sarcoma, and [18F]-FDG-PET/CT proved useful for patient diagnosis and follow-up. This case report illustrates the importance of thorough examination and diagnosis, as a serious underlying disease with a rare cause can debut with an unusual presentation.

Clinical Presentation, Renal Histopathological Findings, and Outcome in Patients with Monoclonal Gammopathy and Kidney Disease. Int J Nephrol 2021; 2021:8859340. [PMID: 34094600 PMCID: PMC8137312 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8859340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2020] [Revised: 04/14/2021] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Monoclonal gammopathies are associated with acute and chronic kidney injury. Nephrotoxicity of the secreted monoclonal (M)-protein is related to its biological properties and blood concentration. Little is known about epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and outcome of monoclonal gammopathies in patients with kidney disease. We retrospectively collected data about demographics, clinical manifestations, and renal histological lesions of all patients (n = 1334) who underwent kidney biopsy between January 2000 and March 2017. Monoclonal gammopathy was detected in 174 (13%) patients with a mean age of 66.4 ± 13.1 years. The spectrum of monoclonal gammopathies comprised monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significate (MGUS) (52.8%), multiple myeloma (MM) (25.2%), primary amyloidosis (AL) (9.1%), smoldering MM (SMM) (4%), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (6.8%), and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) (1.7%). Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) accounted for 6.5% in patients with MGUS and 14.2% in patients with SMM. Evaluation of kidney biopsy revealed that M-protein was directly involved in causing kidney injury in MM (93.1%). MM was the only gammopathy significantly associated with an increased risk of kidney injury (odds ratio [OR] = 47.5, CI 95%, 13.7–164.9; P ≤ 0.001). While there were no significant differences in the progression toward end-stage renal disease or dialysis (P = 0.776), monoclonal gammopathies were associated with a different risk of death (P = 0.047) at the end of the follow-up. In conclusion, monoclonal gammopathy was a frequent finding (13%) in patients who underwent kidney biopsy. M-protein was secreted by both premalignant (56.8%) and malignant (43.2%) lymphoproliferative clones. Kidney biopsy had a key role in identifying MGRS in patients with MGUS (6.5%) and SMM (14.2%). Among monoclonal gammopathies, only MM was significantly associated with biopsy-proven kidney injury. The rate of end-stage renal disease or dialysis was similar among monoclonal gammopathies, whereas NHL, MM, and SMM showed a higher rate of deaths.

Abstract
Background Angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL) is an infrequent hematological malignancy with variable and often atypical presentations. The presence of dysproteinemia, autoantibodies and systemic involvement in AITL has often led to a delay in diagnosis or even misdiagnosis in practice. We herewith present a case of AITL that primarily presented with acute kidney injury associated with type II Cryoglobulinemia, the underlying cause was only identified 8 months after the emergence of initial symptoms. Case presentation A 67-year old woman presented with 2-month history of intermittent joint pain and a 3-day history of bilateral lower limb edema and acute kidney injury. Initial laboratory investigations showed marked hypocomplementemia with positive autoantibodies of ANA, anti-cardiolipin-IgM and direct antiglobulin. The serum and urinary Immunofixation and serum cryoglobulin tests were negative, while the serum free κ to λ light chain ratio was 0.231. A renal biopsy showed a diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis with intracapillary pseudothrombi formation. There were orderly arranged microtubular structures of 20–35 nm in diameter in the subendothelial and mesangial area on electron microscopy. Shortly afterwards, the patient developed tingling affecting her finger tips and weak hands and legs. A diagnosis of cryoglobulinemia complicated with cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis and polyneuropathy was made. She responded well to methylprednisolone, plasma exchange and rituximab. However, 3 months later, she presented with generalized pruritic rash, weight loss, and inguinal lymphadenopathy. A subsequent inguinal excisional lymph node biopsy at month 8 revealed AITL as the underlying disease. Conclusions AITL and its associated B cell dysregulation can give rise to autoimmunity and cryoglobulinemia which may conceal itself as the underlying disorder. In various clinical scenarios of auto-immune diseases, it is advisable that the clinicians should take into consideration the multi-faceted lymphoma.

Abstract
Lymphomatous infiltration of kidney parenchyma is a frequent complication of systemic hematologic malignancies and often shows subtle clinical presentation. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma represents the most frequent form involving the kidney, with advanced stage at diagnosis, poor outcome, and risk for central nervous system relapse if not adequately treated. Kidney biopsy can provide specific and early detection of these cases, helping in the differential diagnosis with more frequent entities. Finally, further hematologic workup (bone marrow biopsy, complete blood cell count, and positron emission tomography) can distinguish secondary involvement of the kidney from the rarer kidney-limited forms, especially in patients without a previous diagnosis of lymphoma. Making a prompt and correct diagnosis directs the management of these cases and may improve the outcome, as described in the present report.

Abstract
Intravascular large B cell lymphoma is a rare non-Hodgkin large B cell lymphoma disease, with heterogeneous clinical manifestation and difficult pathological diagnosis. Positron emission tomography may be helpfull in this context and has already been reported. A 45-year-old woman was admitted for persistent high fever, inflammatory syndrome and unexplained haemophagocytic syndrome. Bilateral cortical renal hypermetabolism at positron emission tomography initially misled to pyelonephritis diagnosis and secondarily led to kidney biopsy, which showed intravascular large B cell lymphoma. Renal involvement in intravascular large B cell lymphoma is rare and is usually characterized by acute renal failure and proteinuria. Global hypermetabolism at positron emission tomography has already been described in this context, but cortical hypermetabolism has never been associated with pathological findings. In front of persistent high fever without etiology, this positron emission tomography feature must lead to intravascular large B cell lymphoma suspicion and to kidney biopsy to obtain pathological proof.

Abstract
A 75-year-old man with stage IV chronic kidney disease due to type 2 diabetes mellitus, presented with increasing proteinuria and rapidly declining renal function despite excellent glycaemic control. Investigations organised to assess his suitability for renal transplantation included an abdominal CT scan, which revealed extensive intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy. A 17fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography scan to further characterise the lymphadenopathy demonstrated activity in the lymph nodes, as well as both kidneys. Following a lymph node biopsy and flow cytometry he was diagnosed with a marginal zone lymphoma. A subsequent kidney biopsy confirmed lymphomatous infiltration of the kidney. Marginal zone lymphoma is an uncommon type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and renal involvement is rare. This case highlights the importance of considering alternative diagnoses when there is deviation from the expected clinical trajectory and the importance of liaising with colleagues in other disciplines to enable an accurate diagnosis to be made.

Abstract
Monoclonal gammopathies are a rare diagnosis in pediatric patients. A 19-year-old female patient with past medical history of hypogammaglobulinemia and natural killer cell deficiency and stage III follicular lymphoma, in remission, presented with a right-sided pneumonia, noted to have acute kidney injury and proteinuria. Complement C3 and C4 levels were normal. Anti-double-stranded DNA antibodies, antinuclear antibodies, anti-extractable nuclear antigen antibodies, and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies were negative. A renal biopsy showed numerous fractured tubular casts that were periodic acid-Schiff and silver-stain negative and fuchsinophilic on trichrome stain, with associated giant cells, tubulitis, acute tubular injury, and tubular rupture. The tubular casts had 3+ staining for lambda light chains and 0-1+ staining for kappa light chains. These findings were consistent with light chain cast nephropathy (LCCN). Serum free light chains, serum immunofixation, urine protein electrophoresis, and urine immunofixation studies supported the renal biopsy diagnosis of LCCN. A bone marrow biopsy showed normal trilineage hematopoiesis and also revealed an atypical B cell population detected by flow cytometry. Pathology specimens from lesions in the distal small bowel were characteristic of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Chemoreduction therapy followed by chemotherapy was initiated for the DLBCL. Three months after initiation of chemotherapy, the patient's creatinine has improved by > 50%. The likely cause of her LCCN was the new diagnosis of a DLBCL. Other risk factors include her history of hypogammaglobulinemia, natural killer (NK) cell deficiency, community-acquired pneumonia, and prior follicular lymphoma. Our patient may be the youngest reported case of LCCN. Treatment of LCCN is based on treating the underlying clonal plasma cell or B cell proliferation, typically with chemotherapy.

Abstract
Renal involvement in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is rare, although extralymphatic disease is usually found. Acute kidney injury is a recognized presentation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with bilateral kidney involvement, promptly requiring specific treatment. Regarding to HL, this manifestation is extremely rare and lacks pathologic description and management experiences. Herein, we describe a case of HL with atypical presentation as well as its management, current evaluation by PET-scan and histologic findings. This case report highlights clinical presentation and a successful experience on managing these cases. Moreover, it is important to drive biologic insights for understanding of kidney infiltration mechanism in HL.

Abstract
Minimal Change Disease (MCD) is a clinical condition characterized by acute nephrotic syndrome, no evident renal lesions at histology and good response to steroids. However, frequent recurrence of the disease requires additional therapies associated with steroids. Such multi-drug dependence and frequent relapses may cause disease evolution to focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) over time. The differences between the two conditions are not well defined, since molecular mechanisms may be shared by the two diseases. In some cases, genetic analysis can make it possible to distinguish MCD from FSGS; however, there are cases of overlap. Several hypotheses on mechanisms underlying MCD and potential molecular triggers have been proposed. Most studies were conducted on animal models of proteinuria that partially mimic MCD and may be useful to study glomerulosclerosis evolution; however, they do not demonstrate a clear-cut separation between MCD and FSGS. Puromycin Aminonucleoside and Adriamycin nephrosis are models of glomerular oxidative damage, characterized by loss of glomerular basement membrane polyanions resembling MCD at the onset and, at more advanced stages, by glomerulosclerosis resembling FSGS. Also Buffalo/Mna rats present initial lesions of MCD, subsequently evolving to FSGS; this mechanism of renal damage is clearer since this rat strain inherits the unique characteristic of overexpressing Th2 cytokines. In Lipopolysaccharide nephropathy, an immunological condition of renal toxicity linked to B7-1(CD80), mice develop transient proteinuria that lasts a few days. Overall, animal models are useful and necessary considering that they reproduce the evolution from MCD to FSGS that is, in part, due to persistence of proteinuria. The role of T/Treg/Bcells on human MCD has been discussed. Many cytokines, immunomodulatory mechanisms, and several molecules have been defined as a specific cause of proteinuria. However, the hypothesis of a single cell subset or molecule as cause of MCD is not supported by research and an interactive process seems more logical. The implication or interactive role of oxidants, Th2 cytokines, Th17, Tregs, B7-1(CD80), CD40/CD40L, c-Mip, TNF, uPA/suPAR, Angiopoietin-like 4 still awaits a definitive confirmation. Whole genome sequencing studies could help to define specific genetic features that justify a definition of MCD as a “clinical-pathology-genetic entity.”

[PMID: 29168251 DOI: 10.1002/ajh.24984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2017] [Revised: 11/08/2017] [Accepted: 11/20/2017] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
Treatment of indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (iNHL) of renal significance is challenging given the need for deep and prolonged hematological response to restore and control renal function overtime, yet to be balanced with the risk of adverse drug-related events. This prospective single-center study included 20 patients with iNHL of renal significance (tubulointerstitial presentation [n = 8], glomerulopathy with or without monoclonal Ig deposits [n = 12]) who received a steroid-sparing regimen of rituximab plus bendamustine (BR), with either no or <1 month of steroid intake (as a first line therapy in 80%). Seventeen patients (85%) achieved a complete (CHR, n = 12) or a partial (PHR, n = 5) hematological response. Nine out of the 12 patients (75%) with iNHL-related glomerulopathy had a complete (CRR) or a partial (PRR) renal response. Among the six patients with glomerulopathy and CHR, five had a CRR (83%) compared to 1/6 (17%) that did not reach CHR. eGFR increased from 38 to 58 mL/min/1.73 m2 , and returned to baseline in five patients. Among the eight patients with a tubulointerstitial presentation, six (75%) had a renal response (5 CRR), and eGFR increased from 29 to 48 mL/min/1.73 m2 . One patient with a PHR had a renal relapse. Mortality rate was 10% at 12 months. The BR regimen was well tolerated overall. Thus, despite severe renal disease at presentation, a relapsing iNHL in 20% of patients and several comorbidities, the BR regimen was efficient and safe in our series. It should be further assessed as a first line therapy for patients with iNHL of renal significance.

Abstract
Renal involvement in non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a recognized development, but it mostly follows a diagnosis of lymphoma. We describe a rare case of a T-cell-type non-Hodgkin lymphoma that first presents as nephromegaly in a 5-year-old girl admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Further investigation revealed bilateral nephromegaly, but the results of blood tests, imaging studies, and bone marrow aspiration were inconclusive. During the second week of hospitalization, significant physical examination revealed an enlarged lymph node in the anterior cervical chains, confirming a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This case illustrates that it is important to have a high degree of suspicion in any patient presenting with unexplained enlarged kidneys without any identifiable cause because it could be the first presentation of a hematologic malignancy.

Abstract
We herein report the case of a 52-year-old woman who consulted us because of a 2-month history of a fever, anorexia and weight loss. A physical examination was unremarkable. The blood count showed mild anemia and lymphopenia, and lactate dehydrogenase was elevated. Creatinine clearance was normal and proteinuria was undetectable. CT showed enlarged kidneys. A bone marrow biopsy was normal. PET-CT showed an intense uptake of 18fluorodeoxyglucose in both kidneys. A kidney biopsy provided the diagnosis of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL). Kidney-limited IVLBCL without an impairment in the renal function or proteinuria has not been described. We analyzed the 38 published cases of IVLBCL involving the kidney to describe the main features of this entity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal complications of non-Hodgkin lymphoma encompass a wide spectrum of monoclonal Ig-related pathologies. Clonal circulating T cells can also be associated with non-renal autoimmune disorders induced by overproduction of specific patterns of cytokines or unbalanced lymphocytes sub-populations. METHODS Immunophenotyping of circulating T cells and TCR gene restriction analysis using Biomed-2 protocol. NF-κB staining and mRNA quantification of inflammatory genes in HK-2 epithelial renal cells exposed to supernatants of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with clonal T-cell population. RESULTS Here, we could identify a persistent clonal T-cell population, only characterized by in-depth immunophenotyping of circulating lymphocytes and using multiplex PCR analysis of TCR gene rearrangements, in two patients with polymorphic inflammatory renal fibrosis of unknown origin. Using an in vitro approach, we could demonstrate that peripheral blood mononuclear cells including the clonal population can trigger a phenotype switch of epithelial renal cells from a quiescent state to a pro-inflammatory state characterized by NF-κB nuclear translocation and overexpression of inflammatory cytokine or chemokine. CONCLUSION These preliminary data suggest that circulating T-cell clones may directly activate epithelial renal cells or promote a T-/B-cell population with autoimmune reactive properties against kidney cells, which, in the absence of overt renal lymphoma infiltration, lead to the subsequent inflammatory renal fibrotic phenotype.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in association with glomerulonephritis (GN) and renal failure is a serious problem in terms of therapy. The paper reports a clinical case of a 64-year-old female patient with Binet stage C CLL accompanied by minimal-change GN complicated by nephrotic syndrome and the development of acute renal failure. GN was diagnosed on the basis of electron microscopic studies of renal biopsy specimens. It was treated with rituximab in combination with bendamustine. The former was intravenously injected in a dose of 375 mg/m2 on day 0 of the cycle; the latter was given in a dose of 70 mg/m2 within the first 2 days; the cycle was repeated 28 days after initiation of the previous cycle. Five cycles could result in complete CLL remission (the follow-up duration was 20 months); nephrotic syndrome was completely abolished and kidney function recovered.

Abstract
A recombinant vaccinia virus VVdGF-ApoS24/2 expressing apoptin selectively kills human cancer cells in vitro [Kochneva et al., 2013]. We compared the oncolytic activity of this recombinant with that of the parental strain L-IVP using a model of human A431 carcinoma xenografts in nude mice. Single intratumoral injections (2×10^7 PFU/mouse) of the viruses produced a dramatic decrease in tumor volumes, which was higher after injection of apoptin-producing virus. The tumor dried out after the injection of recombinant while injection of L-IVP strain resulted in formation of cavities filled with cell debris and liquid. Both viruses rapidly spread in xenografts and replicate exclusively in tumor cells causing their destruction within 8 days. Both viruses induced insignificant level of apoptosis in tumors. Unlike the previously described nuclear localization of apoptin in cancer cells the apoptin produced by recombinant virus was localized to the cytoplasm. The apoptin did not induce a typical apoptosis, but it rather influenced pathway of cell death and thereby caused tumor shrinkage. The replacement of destroyed cells by filamentous material is the main feature of tumor regression caused by the VVdGF-ApoS24/2 virus. The study points the presence of complicated mechanisms of apoptin effects at the background of vaccinia virus replication.

Abstract
Few studies have examined the occurrence of minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). We report here a series of 18 patients with MCNS occurring among 13,992 new cases of NHL. We analyzed the clinical and pathologic characteristics of this association, along with the response of patients to treatment, to determine if this association relies on a particular disorder. The most frequent NHLs associated with MCNS were Waldenström macroglobulinemia (33.3%), marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (27.8%), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (22.2%). Other lymphoproliferative disorders included multiple myeloma, mantle cell lymphoma, and peripheral T-cell lymphoma. In 4 patients MCNS occurred before NHL (mean delay, 15 mo), in 10 patients the disorders occurred simultaneously, and in 4 patients MCNS was diagnosed after NHL (mean delay, 25 mo). Circulating monoclonal immunoglobulins were present in 11 patients. A nontumoral interstitial infiltrate was present in renal biopsy specimens from 3 patients without significant renal impairment. Acute kidney injury resulting from tubular lesions or renal hypoperfusion was present in 6 patients. MCNS relapse occurred more frequently in patients treated exclusively by steroid therapy (77.8%) than in those receiving steroids associated with chemotherapy (25%). In conclusion, MCNS occurs preferentially in NHL originating from B cells and requires an aggressive therapeutic approach to reduce the risk of MCNS relapse.

Abstract
Aims To determine the spectrum of renal lesions in patients with kidney involvement in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) by renal biopsy. Methods The clinical features and histological findings at the time of the renal biopsy were assessed for each patient. Results We identified 20 patients with NHL and renal involvement, and the diagnosis of NHL was established following the kidney biopsy in 18 (90%) patients. The types of NHL include the following: chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (n = 8), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 4), T/NK cell lymphoma (n = 3), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (n = 2), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (n = 1), mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (n = 1) and mantle cell lymphoma (n = 1). All presented with proteinuria, and 15 patients had impaired renal function. The pathological findings included (1) membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis-like pattern in seven patients; (2) crescent glomerulonephritis in four; (3) minimal-change disease in three, and glomeruli without specific pathological abnormalities in three; (4) intraglomerular large B-cell lymphoma in one; (5) intracapillary monoclonal IgM deposits in one; (6) primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the kidneys in one; and (7) lymphoma infiltration of the kidney in eight patients. Conclusion A wide spectrum of renal lesions can be observed in patients with NHL, and NHL may be first proven by renal biopsies for evaluation of kidney injury or proteinuria. Renal biopsy is necessary to establish the underlying cause of renal involvement in NHL.

Abstract
Background Kidney involvement in non-Hodgkin lymphoma is well recognized and glomerulonephritis, when present, has been commonly reported to be associated with a membranoproliferative pattern. Case presentation We report a case of a 58-year-old lady with a recurrence of non-Hodgkin MALT B-cell lymphoma, presenting with acute kidney injury, nephrotic range proteinuria and a cellular urinalysis. She underwent a renal biopsy that showed a severe diffuse proliferative and exudative lupus-like glomerulonephritis, which is likely paraneoplastic in nature. We discuss the differential diagnosis and possible pathogenesis of glomerular injury in lymphoma-related proliferative glomerulonephritis. Conclusion Differentiating between true lupus nephritis and a paraneoplastic glomerulonephritis is important, as it would have significant implications on treatment and clinical course.

Abstract
AKI is common in patients with cancer, and it causes interruptions in therapy and increased hospital length of stay, cost, and mortality. Although cancer patients are susceptible to all of the usual causes of AKI in patients without cancer, there are a number of AKI syndromes that occur more frequently or are unique to this patient population. AKI also confers substantially increased risk of short-term death, and the ability to reverse AKI portends a better outcome in some cancers, such as multiple myeloma. Several trends in oncology, including increased survival, better supportive care, older patients who have received multiple chemotherapy regimens, and new therapeutic options, are driving an increase in the numbers of cancer patients who develop AKI. As a result, nephrologists should be increasingly familiar with the diagnosis, management, and treatment of AKI in this setting. Here, we summarize recent data on epidemiology of AKI in cancer patients, describe the most common AKI syndromes in this population, and highlight emerging areas in the growing field of onconephrology.

Abstract
Primary cilia are microscopic sensory antennae that cells in many vertebrate tissues use to gather information about their environment. In the kidney, primary cilia sense urine flow and are essential for the maintenance of epithelial architecture. Defects of this organelle cause the cystic kidney disease characterized by epithelial abnormalities. These findings link primary cilia to the regulation of epithelial differentiation and proliferation, processes that must be precisely controlled during epithelial repair in the kidney. Here, we consider likely roles for primary cilium-based signaling during responses to renal injury and ensuing epithelial repair processes.

Abstract
The management of hematological malignancies (HM) in renally impaired patients may be a difficult task. Indeed, the kidney represents a major elimination pathway for many chemotherapeutic agents and their metabolites, whose serum levels are not usually measured in daily clinical practice. In addition, many antineoplastic drugs have a narrow therapeutic index for which they require dose adjustment when administered to patients with renal failure. Only limited data regarding the use of chemotherapy in patients with renal impairment and in those on dialysis are available.
