概要 Background
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibroinflammatory disease that affects multiple organs, including the pancreas, lacrimal glands, salivary glands, periaortic/retroperitoneum, and kidney. Interstitial nephritis is a typical renal disorder associated with IgG4-RD, but membranous nephropathy is also seen in some cases.
Case presentation
Herein we report on the case of a 77-year-old male patient with nephrotic syndrome and IgG4-related lung disease. His serum phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody was positive. His renal biopsy specimen was also positive for PLA2R.
The renal biopsy specimen showed membranous nephropathy with equal IgG3 and IgG4 immunofluorescence staining and no interstitial nephritis, suggesting IgG4-RD manifesting as membranous nephropathy.
Conclusions
Nephrotic syndrome caused by membranous nephropathy is sometimes associated with IgG4-RD. In such cases, even if serum PLA2R antibody is positive, it should be considered that the membranous nephropathy may be secondary to IgG4-RD.
