摘要
A 37-year-old African–British man was referred to our hospital for detailed examination because of persistent fever, swelling and pain in both ankle joints, and blurred vision for two months. Inguinal lymph node biopsy showed a large number of epithelioid granulomas without necrosis. Granulomatous anterior uveitis, nephropathy, high serum angiotensin-converting enzyme activity, and high serum-soluble interleukin-2 receptor were observed, and the diagnosis of systemic sarcoidosis was made. His serum creatinine was 1.4 mg/dL and hematuria, leukocyturia, and urine protein were also seen. The renal biopsy finding was mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, with no findings of granuloma formation or tubular interstitial nephritis. Immunofluorescence staining showed deposition of IgG, C3, and C1q in the mesangial region. IgG3 was dominant in subclass staining. There was no monoclonality on kappa and lambda staining. Electron microscopy showed predominant deposition in the mesangial region with some subepithelial and endothelial deposition. His hematuria and leukocyturia disappeared with steroid therapy, suggesting sarcoidosis-related nephropathy. A case of systemic sarcoidosis with mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis showing predominant deposition of IgG in the mesangial region is presented. No cases of such histological findings have been reported so far, and it is necessary to analyze further cases to clarify the pathogenic significance of the renal biopsy findings observed in this case.
