Popis: Background Various glomerular pathologies have been reported in patients who have undergone haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but the data on clinico-pathological correlations and clinical outcome remain limited. Methods We analysed the clinical and histopathological data of patients who had biopsy-proven de novo glomerular diseases after HSCT since 1999. Results A total of 2204 patients underwent HSCT during the period 1999–2021, and 31 patients (1.4%) developed de novo glomerular diseases after a mean duration of 2.8 ± 2.7 years after HSCT. Fifteen of these patients (48.4%) had graft-versus-host-disease prior to or concomitant with renal abnormalities. Proteinuria and eGFR at the time of kidney biopsy were 4.1 ± 5.3 g/day and 50.8 ± 25.4 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively. Kidney histopathologic diagnoses included thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) (38.7%), membranous nephropathy (MN) (25.8%), mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (12.9%), minimal change disease (9.7%), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (9.7%) and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (3.2%). Immunosuppressive treatment was given to patients who presented with nephrotic-range proteinuria and/or acute kidney injury, while renin–angiotensin–aldosterone blockade was given to all patients with proteinuria ≥1 g/day, with complete and partial response rates of 54.8% and 19.4%, respectively. One patient with TMA progressed to end-stage kidney disease after 24 weeks, and two patients, one with TMA and one with MN, (6.4%) progressed to chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage ≥3. Kidney and patient survival rates were 96.6% and 83.5%, respectively, at 5 years. Conclusion De novo glomerular diseases with diverse histopathologic manifestations affect 1.4% of patients after HSCT, and approximately 10% develop progressive CKD.
