Membranous glomerulonephritis after haematopoietic cell transplantation for multiple myeloma

Nephron. 2001 Jul;88(3):260-3. doi: 10.1159/000045999.

Abstract

Renal involvement during graft-versus-host disease following haematopoietic cell transplantation for multiple myeloma has never been described. We report a case of a recipient who developed nephrotic syndrome and membranous glomerulonephritis 22 months after the graft and 6 months after cyclosporine withdrawal. Symptoms resolved when immunosuppressive therapy was reinstituted.
