Abstract
- Lupus-like glomerulonephritis is an immune complex disease with features of lupus nephritis in the absence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report a 49-year-old man diagnosed with lupus-like glomerulonephritis associated with extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). He was admitted to the hospital for edema. At admission, the serum creatinine was 2.2 mg/dL and the urine protein level was 3.9 mg/day. A renal biopsy showed features of lupus nephritis with no clinical or serological evidence of SLE. Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of MALT was discovered concurrently. After successful chemotherapy, the lupus-like glomerulonephritis and lymphoma entered complete remission.
