Cryoglobulinemia is found in various pathological statuses, such as hepatitis C virus infection but rarely in malignant neoplasms. We recently encountered a patient with malignant mesothelioma coincident with nephrotic syndrome and cryoglobulinemia in the course of chemotherapy. A 60-year-old man employed as a building painter was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma by lung biopsy two years earlier and was started on chemotherapy. Nivolumab seemed effective in controlling mesothelioma, but skin immune-related adverse events occurred during the course of treatment. After discontinuation of nivolumab and administration of gemcitabine as an alternative therapy, the patient was referred to a nephrologist because of the subsequent development of edema, renal injury, and proteinuria. Following the investigation, he was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome and cryoglobulinemia with C4-dominant cold activation. However, a percutaneous renal biopsy could not be performed due to persistent severe cough induced by pleural involvement. The patient died a little over three years after the pathological diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma. Our case had three key features nephrotic syndrome was possibly associated with malignant mesothelioma; cryoglobulinemia occurred in malignant mesothelioma; and concomitant nephrotic syndrome and cryoglobulinemia occurred after chemotherapy. Unfortunately, our rare case lacks a basis in renal pathology or evidence of links between the pathogenesis of malignant mesothelioma, cryoglobulinemia, and nephrotic syndrome.

It is usually an adult diagnosis with isolated paediatric cases reported. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare thrombotic microangiopathy mainly affecting adults that causes multiorgan ischaemia, microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, and thrombocytopenia. We present the first paediatric case of concurrent anti-GBM disease and TTP. A 14-year-old boy presented with acute kidney failure and severe pulmonary haemorrhage due to anti-GBM disease, confirmed on auto-antibody testing. There was thrombocytopenia and moderately low ADAMTS13 activity suggestive of TTP. The renal prognosis was poor with a need for dialysis. He was severely unwell with pulmonary haemorrhages requiring the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). His disease was treated with corticosteroids, plasma exchange (PEX), rituximab, and cyclophosphamide, resulting in remission. Anti-GBM disease is rare in children but should be considered in those presenting with acute kidney injury, particularly where there has been exposure to pulmonary irritants. An aggressive presentation warrants aggressive treatment with methylprednisolone, PEX, and cyclophosphamide. Rituximab may benefit patients that have concurrent TTP. TTP may exacerbate pulmonary disease, but complete respiratory recovery is possible. Disease relapse is rare in the paediatric age group, and these patients are candidates for kidney transplantation.","PeriodicalId":9604,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Nephrology","volume":" ","pages":"2676696"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9440844/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40352291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
