RESUMO

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.

RESUMO

Sporadic cases of apolipoprotein A-IV medullary amyloidosis have been reported. Here we describe five families found to have autosomal dominant medullary amyloidosis due to two different pathogenic APOA4 variants. A large family with autosomal dominant chronic kidney disease (CKD) and bland urinary sediment underwent whole genome sequencing with identification of a chr11:116692578 G>C (hg19) variant encoding the missense mutation p.L66V of the ApoA4 protein. We identified two other distantly related families from our registry with the same variant and two other distantly related families with a chr11:116693454 C>T (hg19) variant encoding the missense mutation p.D33N. Both mutations are unique to affected families, evolutionarily conserved and predicted to expand the amyloidogenic hotspot in the ApoA4 structure. Clinically affected individuals suffered from CKD with a bland urinary sediment and a mean age for kidney failure of 64.5 years. Genotyping identified 48 genetically affected individuals; 44 individuals had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) under 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, including all 25 individuals with kidney failure. Significantly, 11 of 14 genetically unaffected individuals had an eGFR over 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. Fifteen genetically affected individuals presented with higher plasma ApoA4 concentrations. Kidney pathologic specimens from four individuals revealed amyloid deposits limited to the medulla, with the mutated ApoA4 identified by mass-spectrometry as the predominant amyloid constituent in all three available biopsies. Thus, ApoA4 mutations can cause autosomal dominant medullary amyloidosis, with marked amyloid deposition limited to the kidney medulla and presenting with autosomal dominant CKD with a bland urinary sediment. Diagnosis relies on a careful family history, APOA4 sequencing and pathologic studies.

RESUMO

Introduction: Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a hematologic disorder that is an overlap syndrome between myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative neoplasms, and can be associated with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to describe kidney involvement in patients with CMML, their treatments, and outcomes. Methods: We conducted a French and American multicenter retrospective study in 15 centers, identifying patients with CMML with acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and urine abnormalities. Results: Sixteen patients (males, n = 14; median age 76.5 years [71.9-83]) developed a kidney disease 6 months [1.6-25.6] after the diagnosis of CMML. At the time of kidney disease diagnosis, median urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio was 2 g/g [1.25-3.4], and median serum creatinine was 2.26 mg/dl [1.46-2.68]. Fourteen patients (87.5%) underwent a kidney biopsy, and the 2 main pathological findings were lysozyme nephropathy (56%) and renal infiltration by the CMML (37.5%). Ten patients received a new treatment following the CMML-associated kidney injury. Among patients with monitored kidney function, and after a median follow-up of 15 months [9.9-34.9], 4 patients had CKD stage 3, 4 had CKD stage 4, 1 had an end-stage kidney disease. In our patient series, 2 patients evolved to an acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and 5 died. Compared with 116 CMML controls, patients who had a kidney involvement had a higher monocyte count (P < 0.001), had more CMML-1 (P = 0.005), were more susceptible to develop an AML (P = 0.02), and were more eligible to receive a specific hematologic treatment, with hydroxyurea, or hypomethylating agents (P < 0.001), but no survival difference was seen between the 2 groups (P = 0.6978). Conclusion: In this cohort of patients with CMML with a kidney injury, the 2 most frequent renal complications were lysozyme-induced nephropathy and renal infiltration by the CMML. Kidney involvement should be closely monitored in patients with CMML.

RESUMO

Introduction: Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) is characterized by monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition in kidneys. However, monoclonal immunoglobulin and responsible clone(s) are not always detectable. Treatment response and kidney outcome of MGRS without detectable clones remain unclear. Methods: In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, we identified MGRS without detectable clones from our biopsy repository between 2010 and 2022. We investigated the correlations between treatment regimens and kidney outcomes defined by proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and the impact of repeat kidney biopsy. Results: Our study cohort included 29 cases (27 native kidney and 2 transplant allograft biopsies) of MGRS without detectable clones. At diagnosis, median serum creatinine was 1.8 mg/dl (interquartile range [IQR] 1.3-2.7), with proteinuria 4.6 g/gCr (IQR 2.3-7.9). Treatment regimens were variable: 6 (21%) received conservative therapy, 13 (45%) received plasma cell clone-directed therapy, 8 (28%) received lymphocytic clone-directed therapy, and 2 (7%) received nonclone-directed immunosuppressive therapy. Of 24 patients with proteinuria >0.5 g/gCr at diagnosis, 9 (38%) and 6 (25%) achieved complete response (CR) and partial response (PR), respectively. If interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) was >50% at the initial biopsy, less proportion of patients achieved CR. Six of 7 repeat biopsies showed progression of chronic changes (e.g., IFTA) but provided limited information on treatment response. Conclusion: Treatment regimens and outcomes of MGRS without detectable clones were extremely variable. Repeat biopsy provided limited information to assess disease activity or the need for additional treatment. More sensitive tools are needed to detect clones and to assess treatment response.
