Presentation Transcript

  1. Native and transplant kidney pathology Case 8 Erik Heyerdahl Strøm Dept. of Pathology Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet Oslo, Norway ECP Helsinki 30 August 2011

  2. Clinical history Caucasian male 22 years. • mild edema of lower extremities • hematuria • proteinuria, increasing to nephrotic level • moderate hypertension • slightly reduced renal function Suspicion of chronic glomerulonephritis Kidney biopsy was performed

  3. PAS

  4. Silver staining

  5. Silver staining

  6. Biopsy diagnosis Glomerular lipid-containing deposits suggestive of Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency

  7. Clinical follow-up • Lipid metabolism: • Very low HDL, low LDL, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides • Corneal opacities

  8. Genetic testing Compound heterozygous: Two mutations (R244H and M252K) in exon 6 of the LCAT-gene, located on chromosome 16. Final diagnosis: Familial LCAT-deficiency

  9. Familial LCAT deficiency

  10. Familial LCAT deficiency • autosomal recessive disease • due to a defect in esterification of plasma cholesterol • severe reduction of HDL • elevation of free cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids

  11. Familial LCAT deficiency lipid-containing depositions within several organs: • kidney • proteinuria, renal failure • cornea • decreased vision • erythrocytes • anemia due to defect of cytoplasmic membrane • aorta and muscular arteries • premature atherosclerotic vascular disease?

  12. Familial LCAT deficiencyGenetics >70 different mutations described  Familial LCAT deficiency  Milder disease (”Fish-eye disease”) Kluivenhoven JA: J Lipid Res 2004

  13. ”Fish eye” Corneal opacities: * multiple small greyish spots  “foggy” discoloration; band-like at the periphery * impaired vision * present from early childhood in LCAT deficiency

  14. Cornea in LCAT disease

  15. Cornea in LCAT disease

  16. Pathogenesis of renal lesion • Heterogeneous lesions may be due to several mechanisms of disease • deposition of different types of lipid containing molecules, incl. abnormal lipoproteins: Lipoprotein X (Lp-X) • capillary wall impairment • complement activation?

  17. Differential diagnosis • renal lesions in chronic liver diseases • ”hepatic glomerulosclerosis” (Sagaguchi H 1965) • Alagilles’s syndrome (hypoplasia of intrahepatic bile ducts) • other lipidoses

  18. Case history • Transplanted at 28 yrs, 6 yrs after initial diagnosis • Received kidney from his father, who was heterozygous for LCAT mutation

  19. Two days after transplantation Biopsy proven acute rejection Banff IA

  20. Biopsy two days after transplantation

  21. Protocol biopsy 6 weeks after transplantation

  22. Protocol biopsy one year after transplantation CD 68

  23. Recurrence of LCAT deficiency in renal graft • Documented in graft - 7 weeks after transplantation - more than 5 years graft survival

  24. What is the significance of the changes in the 2 days post transplant biopsy? • Unspecific changes? - probably not • Donor derived changes? - probably not • Recurrence of disease? - most likely

  25. Why present this case? Ultrastructural morphology is quite suggestive of LCAT-deficiency Early recurrence in transplant
