Abstract
Introduction The objective of this study was to describe kidney involvement in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), their treatments, and outcomes. Methods We conducted a multicenter retrospective study in seven centers, identifying MDS patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and urine abnormalities. Results Fifteen patients developed a kidney disease 3 months after MDS diagnosis. Median urine protein-to-creatinine ratio was 1.9 g/g, and median serum creatinine was 3.2 mg/dL. Ten patients had AKI at presentation, and 12 had extra-renal symptoms. The renal diagnoses included anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), ANCA negative vasculitis, C3 glomerulonephritis, immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis, polyarteritis nodosa, and IgA vasculitis. All patients but one received a specific treatment for the MDS-associated kidney injury. The effect of MDS treatment on kidney injury could be assessed in six patients treated with azacitidine, and renal function evolution was heterogenous. After a median follow-up of 14 months, four patients had CKD stage 3, five had CKD stage 4, and three had end stage kidney disease. On the other hand, three evolved to an acute myeloid leukemia and three died. Compared to 84 MDS controls, patients who had kidney involvement were younger, had a higher number of dysplasia lineages, and were more eligible to receive hypomethylating agents, but no survival difference was seen between the two groups. Compared to 265 AAV without MDS, the ten with MDS-associated pauci-immune vasculitis were older, ANCA serology was more frequently negative, and more cutaneous lesions were seen. Conclusion The spectrum of kidney injuries associated with MDS is mostly represented by vasculitis with glomerular involvement, and especially AAV.

Abstract
Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a hematologic malignancy affecting the bone marrow and resulting in peripheral blood monocytosis. Kidney and urinary tract involvement is common and can present dramatically with life-threatening consequences. Kidney involvement can be the result of direct or indirect mechanisms, including prerenal azotemia, glomerular disease, tubulointerstitial involvement, and renovascular disorders. Urinary tract involvement, electrolyte and acid-base disorders, as well as nephrotoxicity from treatment of the disorder can also occur. Given this multifactorial pathogenesis involving several mechanisms concomitantly, nephrologists must exercise heightened awareness and maintain a low threshold for kidney biopsy. There is a pressing need for future research endeavors to elucidate and target the manifestations of CMML that involve the kidneys with the ultimate goal of augmenting overall prognosis and therapeutic outcomes.

Severe Acute Kidney Injury Associated with Transformation of Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia into Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Case Report. J Clin Med 2024; 13:494. [PMID: 38256628 PMCID: PMC10816856 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13020494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a rare hematologic disorder that infrequently causes acute kidney injury (AKI). CMML can transform into acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which can be accompanied by a deterioration in kidney function. However, severe AKI due to extramedullary manifestations of AML is rare. Herein, we present the case of a 67-year-old male patient with CMML that transformed into AML with severe AKI necessitating hemodialysis. The cause of the AKI was the AML transformation. The patient, with stable kidney function after chemotherapy for CMML, presented with a sudden decline in kidney function. Hemodialysis was initiated because of severe AKI, and histopathologic evaluation of the kidney biopsy specimen revealed severe, diffuse mixed inflammatory cell infiltrates in the interstitium and c-kit-immunopositive myeloblast-like cells. A bone marrow biopsy was performed because of the kidney biopsy findings suggesting that leukemic infiltration led to the diagnosis of AML. The patient received chemotherapy for AML, and his kidney function recovered. As illustrated in this case, severe AKI can develop as an early extramedullary manifestation during transformation from CMML to AML. Therefore, in patients with CMML and rapidly declining renal function, transformation into AML should be considered and histopathologically confirmed by kidney biopsy.

Abstract
In addition to kidney diseases characterized by the precipitation and deposition of overproduced monoclonal immunoglobulin and kidney damage due to chemotherapy agents, a broad spectrum of renal lesions may be found in patients with hematologic malignancies. Glomerular diseases, in the form of paraneoplastic glomerulopathies and acute kidney injury with various degrees of proteinuria due to specific lymphomatous interstitial and/or glomerular infiltration, are two major renal complications observed in the lymphoid disorder setting. However, other hematologic neoplasms, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, thymoma, myeloproliferative disorders, Castleman disease and hemophagocytic syndrome, have also been associated with the development of kidney lesions. These renal disorders require prompt recognition by the clinician, due to the need to implement specific treatment, depending on the chemotherapy regimen, to decrease the risk of subsequent chronic kidney disease. In the context of renal disease related to hematologic malignancies, renal biopsy remains crucial for accurate pathological diagnosis, with the aim of optimizing medical care for these patients. In this review, we provide an update on the epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathophysiological processes and diagnostic strategy for kidney diseases associated with hematologic malignancies outside the spectrum of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance.

Abstract
An 80-year-old man with myelodysplastic syndrome developed acute kidney injury (AKI) and peripheral blood monocyte-dominant leukocytosis. Glomerular disease was suspected from urinalysis, which showed proteinuria and microscopic hematuria with red cell casts. Eventually, he died of respiratory failure, after which a postmortem was performed. In the glomeruli, the extracapillary space was filled with numerous mononuclear cells and erythrocytes. At first interpretation, the glomerular findings appeared to represent cellular crescents. However, immunostaining revealed that the extracapillary mononuclear cells were in fact leukemic cells. Furthermore, tubular injury due to marked accumulation of lysozyme was also recognized together with infiltration of leukemic cells in the interstitium. The diagnosis of kidney infiltration by chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and lysozyme-induced tubular injury was eventually made. Our case is the first report showing extracapillary infiltration of leukemic cells by immunostaining. In addition, lysozyme-induced tubular injury is a forgotten cause of kidney injury in patients with CMML. This case teaches us the rare and forgotten causes of AKI with CMML.

Abstract
In end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving dialysis, anemia is common and related to a higher mortality rate. Erythropoietin (EPO) resistance and iron refractory anemia require red blood cell transfusions. Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a disease with hematopoietic dysplasia. There are limited reports regarding ESRD patients with MDS. We aim to assess whether, for ESRD patients, undergoing dialysis is a predictive factor of MDS by analyzing data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. We enrolled 74,712 patients with chronic renal failure (ESRD) who underwent dialysis and matched 74,712 control patients. In our study, we noticed that compared with the non-ESRD controls, in ESRD patients, undergoing dialysis (subdistribution hazard ratio [sHR] = 1.60, 1.16–2.19) and age (sHR = 1.03, 1.02–1.04) had positive predictive value for MDS occurrence. Moreover, more units of red blood cell transfusion (higher than 4 units per month) was also associated with a higher incidence of MDS. The MDS cumulative incidence increased with the duration of dialysis in ESRD patients. These effects may be related to exposure to certain cytokines, including interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and tumor growth factor-β. In conclusion, we report the novel finding that ESRD patients undergoing dialysis have an increased risk of MDS.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are associated with an increased risk not only of lymphoproliferative disorders but also of myeloid malignancies. The excess risk of myelodysplastic syndromes and/or acute myeloid leukemia is observed across several AD types, including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disorders, multiple sclerosis, among others. The risk of developing myeloid neoplasms (MNs) is dependent on several variables, including the specific AD type, chronicity and severity of the AD, type and duration of exposure of disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs or cytotoxics/immunosuppressives, and genetic predisposition risk. Putative triggering factors linking AD to elevated MN risk include AD-directed medications, shared genetic susceptibilities between the two disease entities, and chronic immune stimulation or bone marrow infiltration by the AD. Molecular mechanisms underpinning leukemogenesis remain largely speculative and warrant further investigation. Leukemias arising in patients with AD are not always 'therapy-related' in that MNs may develop in certain AD subtypes even among patients with no prior therapy exposure. Only a few studies have attempted to determine factors associated with MN development in AD but failed to demonstrate consistent characteristic clinical or paraclinical features. These reports have failed to demonstrate a clear correlation between individual agent exposure and subsequent leukemia development due to the low rates of therapy exposure compounded by the rarity of MN occurrence. Notwithstanding, the leukemogenic potential is best documented with agents such as azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, and mitoxantrone; this risk of MN development does not appear to be shared by biologic approaches such as anti-tumor necrosis factors-alpha inhibitors. In this article, we discuss plausible biologic mechanisms underlying MN pathogenesis in AD and review the data available on the development of MNs in patients with AD.

Abstract
Leukemia and lymphoma are hematologic malignancies that can affect any age group. Disease can be aggressive or indolent, often with multiorgan system involvement. Kidney involvement in leukemia and lymphoma can be quite extensive. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is quite prevalent in these patients, with prerenal and acute tubular necrosis being the most common etiologies. However other prerenal, intrinsic, and obstructive etiologies are possible. AKI can be a direct effect of the malignancy, a complication of the malignancy, or the consequence or side effect of chemotherapy. Nephrotic syndrome and glomerulonephritis, often presenting without overt kidney failure, have also been seen in all forms of leukemia and lymphoma. Lastly, the direct effects of the malignancy and complications from the tumor often result in numerous electrolyte disturbances and acid-base disorders, with life-threatening consequences if left untreated.

Abstract
Paraneoplastic glomerulonephritis is a rare complication of malignancy that is frequently mistaken for idiopathic glomerulonephritis. Failure to recognize paraneoplastic glomerulonephritis can subject patients to ineffective and potentially harmful therapy. The pathology of paraneoplastic glomerulonephritis varies between different types of malignancies. This Review discusses the association of glomerulonephritis with both solid tumors and hematological malignancies. The pathogenetic mechanisms of many glomerular lesions seem to relate to altered immune responses in the presence of a malignancy. Studies in the Buffalo/Mna rat model of spontaneous thymoma and nephrotic syndrome indicate that polarization of the immune response toward a T-helper-2 (T(H)2) profile has an important role in the development of thymoma-associated glomerular lesions. Furthermore, overexpression of the T(H)2 cytokine interleukin 13 in rats induces minimal change disease. Such findings from experimental studies might facilitate the identification of biomarkers that can distinguish paraneoplastic glomerulonephritis from idiopathic and other secondary glomerulonephritides. This Review describes potential pathogenetic mechanisms for paraneoplastic glomerulonephritides associated with different malignancies and highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach to the management of patients with paraneoplastic glomerulonephritis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The association of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with auto-immune diseases and humoral disorders have already been reported. In this prospective study we tried to estimate type and the frequency of immunological associated diseases among patients affected by MDS. PATIENTS-METHODS In this prospective study, auto-immune disease and humoral immunity disorders were systematically searched during MDS and conversely MDS searched during cytopenia. All MDS secondary to chemotherapy and the children's MDS were excluded. The MDS diagnosis was established according to FAB criteria and patients were classified in two groups A or B according to presence (group A) or not (group B) of dysimmune manifestations. RESULTS Forty patients(19 males and 21 females, mean age of 56,6 years) with MDS have been enrolled during this period (group A: 20 patients). Associated diseases are following: systemic lupus erythematosus (three), lupus-like syndrome(one), sarcoidisis(one), Sjogrën syndrome(one), polyarthritis (two), chronic liver diseases (three), autoimmune thyroid diseases (two), pyoderma gangrenosum (one), Crohn's disease(one), haemolytic anaemia (one), and pericardial effusion(one). CONCLUSION A wide spectrum of auto-immune manifestations is frequently reported in myelodysplastic syndromes. Further studies are necessary for discuss the current physiopathological hypothesis with their therapeutic relevance.

Abstract
Nephrectomy was performed for uncontrollable unilateral hematuria in an apparently healthy 72-year-old man. The suburothelial connective tissue of the kidney was infiltrated by primitive myeloid cells with associated acute vasculitis and foci of extramedullary hematopoiesis. Subsequently, the patient was shown to have chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Although renal involvement and vasculitis have been recorded previously in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, this is the first occasion, to our knowledge, where their concurrence resulted in such a spectacular presentation.

Abstract
It is sometimes reported that the immunological abnormalities in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) induce autoimmune disease (i.e., acute systemic vasculitic syndrome, chronic cutaneous vasculitis, polyneuropathy, relapsing polychondritis, and steroid-responsive pulmonary disorders). We investigated the clinical features of patients with MDS accompanied by nephrotic syndrome. We enrolled 125 patients with MDS who were admitted between January 1979 and May 1996 in this study. The renal function was assessed based on the laboratory data and the findings at the physical examination. The diagnoses of nephrotic syndrome and glomerular disease were established when 24-hr urinary excretion was more than 3.5 g and serum total protein was less than 6.0 g/dl, and when the 24-hr protein excretion was more than 1.5 g. Five patients (4%) had glomerular disease, and three (2.4%) had nephrotic syndrome. Of the five patients with glomerular disease, two had refractory anemia (RA), and three had chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMMOL). Three of the total 11 patients with CMMOL were diagnosed as having nephrotic syndrome. Among the CMMOL patients, those with nephrotic syndrome showed higher absolute monocyte numbers than did those without nephrotic syndrome (8830 +/- 4677/microl vs. 3061 +/- 2887/microl, P = 0.03). One CMMOL patient was treated with VP-16 and hydroxyurea. As the white blood cell count in this patient decreased, the 24-hr urine protein excretion and the serum tumor necrosis factor alpha level decreased. The relationship between nephrotic syndrome and CMMOL was not clear. High monocyte count and the serum cytokines in MDS patients may play a partial role in the evolution of glomerulonephritis, and CMMOL may be closely related to nephrotic syndrome.

Abstract
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are characterized by quantitative and functional involvement of myeloid lineages. Yet, systemic manifestations, suggestive of a lymphocytic involvement, have been described in MDS. We review here biological and clinical data concerning the associations between MDS and immunological disorders. Biological auto-immune markers are in fact rare in MDS, and especially encountered in the chronic myelomonocytic leukemia subgroup. Only a few systemic diseases seem to be frequently associated with MDS: seronegative arthritis, cutaneous vasculitis, and relapsing polychondritis. These diseases are probably not entirely auto-immune, and the signification of their association with an MDS remains unclear. About 30% of relapsing polychondritis are associated with MDS. Conversely, 0.6% of MDS are associated with a relapsing polychondritis. These associations are mainly encountered in men suffering from a refractory anemia (with or without excess of blasts). The main cytogenetic abnormalities are monosomy 7, presence of a ring chromosome, and monosomy 16.
