Membranous nephropathy after multiple Hymenoptera stings: a case report.
An association between Hymenoptera (bee and wasp) stings and nephrotic syndrome has been rarely reported. We report a case of nephrotic syndrome after multiple Hymenoptera stings, and membranous nephropathy was later diagnosed by a kidney biopsy. The patient was a 79-year-old woman who was stung by Hymenoptera at seven sites on her body. A weight gain of 3.7 kg was observed in the patient at 1 week after being stung, and she had considerable edema in both lower extremities. A urine protein concentration of 14.8 g/g creatinine and a serum albumin concentration of 1.7 g/dL led to the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome. A percutaneous kidney biopsy 8 days after the Hymenoptera stings showed stage I membranous nephropathy. She was in complete remission 1 week after the administration of oral prednisolone 40 mg/day, which was started 14 days after Hymenoptera stings, and had no relapse of nephrotic syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of biopsy-proven membranous nephropathy caused by Hymenoptera stings.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Nephrology (CEN) Case Reports is a peer-reviewed online-only journal, officially published biannually by the Japanese Society of Nephrology (JSN). The journal publishes original case reports in nephrology and related areas. The purpose of CEN Case Reports is to provide clinicians and researchers with a forum in which to disseminate their personal experience to a wide readership and to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world, from whom contributions are welcomed.
