The simultaneous occurrence of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis and thrombotic microangiopathy is rare. A 47-year-old woman was admitted with acute renal failure, hematuria, edematous nephrotic syndrome and severe hypertension. This acute nephritic syndrome occurred two weeks after left leg erysipelas. The patient also had signs of intravascular hemolysis, low serum levels of C3 and C4 and elevated antistreptolysin-O titer. Kidney biopsy confirmed postinfectious glomerulonephritis with diffuse hypercellularity and humps, and simultaneous subendothelial hyalin deposits and fibrinoid arteriolar thrombi. The patient received four antihypertensive drugs, acetylsalicyclic acid and plasma infusions. Renal function improved, hypertension was controlled and serum levels of C3 and C4 complement components returned to normal within three months. This case illustrates the occurrence of thrombotic microangiopathy in association with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. This simultaneous appearance supports a role of neuraminidase in this disease. |
