An Unusual Case of Immune Complex-Mediated Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis as Renal Manifestation of Idiopathic Hypereosinophilic Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review. MEDICINES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 11:13. [PMID: 38921600 PMCID: PMC11206110 DOI: 10.3390/medicines11060013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES) is a disorder characterized by abnormal and persistent peripheral blood hypereosinophilia (eosinophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L and ≥10% eosinophils) with duration ≥ 6 months, associated organ damage, and/or dysfunction attributable to tissue eosinophilic infiltrate of unknown cause. IHES affects different organs such as the heart, lungs, nervous system, and skin, with renal involvement being rare in this condition. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a young patient with IHES and immune complex-mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with nephrotic syndrome, as a rare renal manifestation. We discuss the clinical, analytical, and histopathologic renal and hematologic features, comparing them with other reported cases in the literature.

Pang L, Ding Z, Chai H, Shuang W. The causal relationship between immune cells and different kidney diseases: A Mendelian randomization study. Open Med (Wars) 2023; 18:20230877. [PMID: 38152332 PMCID: PMC10751893 DOI: 10.1515/med-2023-0877] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Studies have suggested that the progress of most kidney diseases from occurrence to course and subsequent related complications are closely related to inflammatory reaction. Increased common leukocytes count in the family (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, etc.) are also involved in the tissue damage of kidney diseases. However, these studies are only traditional observational studies, which cannot prove whether there is a causal relationship between these four kinds of leukocytes count and kidney diseases. We aim to explore the causal relationship between these four kinds of leukocytes count and kidney diseases by Mendelian randomization (MR). Large sample size of the genome-wide association database of four cell traits (neutrophil, basophil, lymphocyte, and eosinophil cell counts) in the leukocyte family were used as exposure variables. The outcome variables were various renal diseases (including chronic renal failure, acute renal failure, hypertensive heart or/and kidney disease, hypertensive renal disease, disorders resulting from impaired renal tubular function, and type 1 diabetes with renal complications). The covariates used in multivariable MR are also four cell traits related to blood cells (neutrophil, basophil, lymphocyte, and eosinophil cell counts). Instrumental variables and single nucleotide polymorphic loci were identified (P < 5 × 10-8. Linkage disequilibrium R2 < 0.001). The causal relationships were studied by inverse variance weighted (IVW), weighted median, and MR-Egger regression. Sensitivity analysis was also performed. In our study, IVW analysis results showed that increased neutrophil cell count was a risk factor for chronic renal failure (OR = 2.0245861, 95% CI = 1.1231207-3.649606, P = 0.01896524), increased basophil cell count was a risk factor for chronic renal failure (OR = 3.975935, 95% CI = 1.4871198-10.62998, P = 0.005942755). Basophil cell count was not a risk factor for acute renal failure (OR = 1.160434, 95% CI = 0.9455132-1.424207, P = 0.15448828). Increased basophil cell count was a protective factor for hypertensive heart and/or renal disease (OR = 0.7716065, 95% CI = 0.6484979-0.9180856, P = 0.003458707). Increased basophil cell count was a risk factor for disorders resulting from impaired renal tubular function (OR = 1.648131, 95% CI = 1.010116-2.689133, P = 0.04546835). Increased lymphocyte cell count was a risk factor for hypertensive renal disease (OR = 1.372961, 95% CI = 1.0189772-1.849915, P = 0.03719874). Increased eosinophil cell count was a risk factor for type 1 diabetes with renal complications (OR = 1.516454, 95% CI = 1.1826453-1.944482, P = 0.001028964). Macrophage inflammatory protein 1b levels was a protective factor for renal failure (OR = 0.9381862, 95% CI = 0.8860402-0.9934013, P = 0.02874872). After multivariable MR was used to correct covariates (neutrophil, basophil, and lymphocyte cell counts), the correlation effect between increased eosinophil cell counts and type 1 diabetes with renal complications was still statistically significant (P = 0.02201152). After adjusting covariates (neutrophil, basophil, and eosinophil cell counts) with multivariable MR, the correlation effect between increased lymphocyte cell counts and hypertensive renal disease was still statistically significant (P = 0.02050226). This study shows that increased basophils can increase the relative risk of chronic renal failure and renal tubular dysfunction, and reduce the risk of hypertensive heart disease and/or hypertensive nephropathy, while increased basophil cell count will not increase the relative risk of acute renal failure, increased neutrophil cell count can increase the risk of chronic renal failure, increased lymphocyte cell count can increase the relative risk of hypertensive nephropathy, and increased eosinophil cell count can increase the relative risk of type 1 diabetes with renal complications. Macrophage inflammatory protein 1b levels was a protective factor for renal failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interstitial eosinophilic aggregates are observed in various kidney diseases, but their clinical implications remain unknown. We assessed the association between interstitial eosinophilic aggregates and kidney outcomes and further analyzed the association between blood eosinophil count, as a surrogate for interstitial eosinophilic aggregates, and the risk of kidney failure in patients with advanced CKD. METHODS We analyzed datasets from two retrospective cohort studies: ( 1 ) the kidney biopsy cohort including 563 patients who underwent native kidney biopsy at Osaka University Hospital between 2009 and 2021 and ( 2 ) the retrospective CKD cohort including 2877 patients with an eGFR of 10-60 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 referred to the nephrology outpatient center at Osaka University Hospital between 2005 and 2018. Interstitial eosinophilic aggregates were defined as ≥5 interstitial eosinophils in the high-power field on hematoxylin and eosin staining. This study outcome was initiation of KRT or ≥40% decline in eGFR. RESULTS In the kidney biopsy cohort, interstitial eosinophilic aggregates were found in 17% of patients, most frequently in those with diabetic nephropathy (50%). Interstitial eosinophilic aggregates were associated with a higher rate of the composite kidney outcome after adjustment for clinical and histological variables (hazard ratio, 3.61; 95% confidence interval, 2.47 to 5.29; P < 0.001). LASSO revealed that blood eosinophil count was the strongest predictor of interstitial eosinophilic aggregates. In the retrospective CKD cohort, higher baseline and time-updated blood eosinophil counts were significantly associated with a higher rate of KRT initiation in Cox proportional hazards models and marginal structural models. CONCLUSIONS Interstitial eosinophilic aggregates were associated with a higher risk of a composite of KRT initiation or ≥40% decline in eGFR.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although eosinophil-induced manifestations can be life-threatening, studies focusing on the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of eosinophilia in the intensive care unit (ICU) are lacking. METHODS A retrospective, national, multicenter (14 centers) cohort study over 6 years of adult patients who presented with eosinophilia ≥ 1 × 109/L on two blood samples performed from the day before admission to the last day of an ICU stay. RESULTS 620 patients (0.9% of all ICU hospitalizations) were included: 40% with early eosinophilia (within the first 24 h of ICU admission, ICU-Eo1 group) and 56% with delayed (> 24 h after ICU admission, ICU-Eo2 group) eosinophilia. In ICU-Eo1, eosinophilia was mostly due to respiratory (14.9%) and hematological (25.8%) conditions, frequently symptomatic (58.1%, mainly respiratory and cardiovascular manifestations) requiring systemic corticosteroids in 32.2% of cases. In ICU-Eo2, eosinophil-related organ involvement was rare (25%), and eosinophilia was mostly drug-induced (46.8%). Survival rates at day 60 (D60) after ICU admission were 21.4% and 17.2% (p = 0.219) in ICU-Eo1 and ICU-Eo2 patients, respectively. For ICU-Eo1 patients, in multivariate analysis, risk factors for death at D60 were current immunosuppressant therapy at ICU admission, eosinophilia of onco-hematological origin and the use of vasopressors at ICU admission, whereas older age and the use of vasopressors or mechanical ventilation at the onset of eosinophilia were associated with a poorer prognosis for ICU-Eo2 patients. CONCLUSION Eosinophilia ≥ 1 × 109/L is not uncommon in the ICU. According to the timing of eosinophilia, two subsets of patients requiring different etiological workups and management can be distinguished.

Abstract
A 39-year-old man presented with peripheral eosinophilia, pulmonary eosinophilic infiltrate, and renal failure due to acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN). He had experienced childhood asthma and was negative for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA). He was tentatively diagnosed with ANCA-negative eosinophilic granulomatous polyangiitis (EGPA) or idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Renal involvement of isolated TIN with eosinophil infiltration is rare in EGPA and HES and does not seem to have a good prognosis in the literature. However, his condition improved well with corticosteroids and mepolizumab. The revised classification of EGPA based on the etiology should dictate the proper treatment in suspected EGPA patients with nonsystemic vasculitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the clinical and pathological features of renal lesions in patients with kidney involvement in idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES). METHODS The demographic, clinical, and pathological characteristics and the treatment and follow-up data were analyzed. RESULTS We identified 18 patients with IHES and renal involvement. Eleven patients presented with nephrotic syndrome, and 6 patients had impaired renal function. 15 patients underwent renal biopsy, and the pathological findings included the following: membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis in 3 patients; minimal-change disease in 3; mesangial proliferative nephritis in two; IgA nephropathy in 2; membranous nephropathy in two; chronic interstitial nephritis in two; focal segmental sclerosis in one; and eosinophil infiltration into the renal interstitium in 11 and into the glomerulus in 3. After treatment with glucocorticoids, the eosinophil count decreased. 15 patients were followed up, and 14 showed a decrease in urinary protein or renal function recovery. When glucocorticoids were discontinued, eosinophil increased (8 cases), urine protein increased (1 case), and 1 patient progressed to end-stage renal disease. CONCLUSIONS Nephrotic syndrome with or without renal insufficiency is the main clinical manifestation. A wide spectrum of renal lesions can be observed in patients with IHES. Eosinophil infiltration into the renal interstitium was common in these patients. Most patients have a good prognosis after glucocorticoid therapy.

Abstract
Background Renal involvement in idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is uncommon. The mechanism of kidney damage can be explained as occurring via two distinct pathways: (1) thromboembolic ischemic changes secondary to endocardial disruption mediated by eosinophilic cytotoxicity to the myocardium and (2) direct eosinophilic cytotoxic effect to the kidney. Case presentation We present a case of a 63-year-old Caucasian man who presented to our hospital with 2 weeks of progressively generalized weakness. He was diagnosed with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome with multiorgan involvement and acute kidney injury with biopsy-proven thrombotic microangiopathy. Full remission was achieved after 8 weeks of corticosteroid therapy. Conclusion Further studies are needed to investigate if age and absence of frank thrombocytopenia can serve as a prognostic feature of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, as seen in this case.

Abstract
Peripheral blood eosinophilia (PBE), defined as 500 eosinophils or above per microliter (µL) blood, is a condition that is not uncommon but often neglected in the management of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury (AKI), or patients on renal replacement therapy (RRT). The nature of PBE in the context of kidney diseases is predominantly secondary or reactive and has to be distinguished from primary eosinophilic disorders. Nonetheless, the finding of persistent PBE can be a useful clue for the differential diagnosis of underdiagnosed entities and overlapping syndromes, such as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), acute interstitial nephritis (AIN), or the hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). For patients on RRT, PBE may be an indicator for bio-incompatibility of the dialysis material, acute allograft rejection, or Strongyloides hyperinfection. In a subset of patients with EGPA, eosinophils might even be the driving force in disease pathogenesis. This improved understanding is already being used to facilitate novel therapeutic options. Mepolizumab has been licensed for the management of EGPA and is applied with the aim to abrogate the underlying immunologic process by blocking interleukin-5. The current article provides an overview of different renal pathologies that are associated with PBE. Further scientific effort is required to understand the exact role and function of eosinophils in these disorders which may pave the way to improved interdisciplinary management of such patients.

Abstract
Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is an X-linked dominant disorder that in most cases is considered lethal in males. IP affects the skin, hair, teeth, nails, eyes, and central nervous system. We report a case of persistent hypercalcemia (10.6-11.3 mg/dL) in a 19-month-old Caucasian boy with clinical IP. The proposed mechanism for his hypercalcemia is discussed.
