FOCAL SEGMENTAL GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKAEMIA: CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most frequent form of leukemia inWestern Europe. Despite of high frequency of this type of leukemia, kidney involvement associated with CLL is rarely reported in the literature. Renal biopsies are not routinely performed in patients with CLL to evaluate unexplained renal insufficiency or nephrotic syndrome (NS). As a consequence, little is known about mechanisms causing renal abnormalities in CLL. Collectively, 130 cases of biopsy-proven glomerular or interstitial renal abnormalities due to CLL have been reported in the literature to date. The most common type of glomerulonephritis causing NS during CLL is membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, less frequent causes include membranous nephropathy, minimal-change disease. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a rarity; we met only 6 observations of FSGS associated with CLL that have been published to date. We present a rare case of CLL-associated FSGS with clinical resolution of the NS after successful treatment with rituximab and literature review on various nephrotic glomerulonephropathies associated with CLL manifestative with NS.
