Renal complications in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) are infrequent and are characterized by the presence of PAS positive amorphous hyaline deposits in the capillary lumen, infiltrated with lymphoplasmatic cells with PAS positive inclusions in the interstices and intratubular hyaline cylinders. Membranous glomerulonephritis may be a paraneoplastic manifestation of the lymphoproliferative processes. A 67-year-old male was diagnosed of WM, type-I cryoglobulinemia with renal insufficiency without proteinuria. Renal histological examination revealed changes characteristic of nephropathy associated to WM as well as membranous glomerulonephritis. This association has not been described previously. The coexistence of two pathogenic mechanisms with a common base, lymphoproliferative disease, may explain this association.

D008258 Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia A lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by pleomorphic B-LYMPHOCYTES including PLASMA CELLS, with increased levels of monoclonal serum IMMUNOGLOBULIN M. There is lymphoplasmacytic cells infiltration into bone marrow and often other tissues, also known as lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Clinical features include ANEMIA; HEMORRHAGES; and hyperviscosity.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D003449 Cryoglobulinemia A condition characterized by the presence of abnormal quantities of CRYOGLOBULINS in the blood. Upon cold exposure, these abnormal proteins precipitate into the microvasculature leading to restricted blood flow in the exposed areas. Cryoglobulinemias

D015433 Glomerulonephritis, Membranous A type of glomerulonephritis that is characterized by the accumulation of immune deposits (COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX) on the outer aspect of the GLOMERULAR BASEMENT MEMBRANE. It progresses from subepithelial dense deposits, to basement membrane reaction and eventual thickening of the basement membrane.
