A rare case of non‐lupus full house nephropathy in a transplanted kidney, case report

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Non‐lupus full house nephropathy is a rare entity that is still poorly understood. It can complicate post‐transplant kidneys and result in a de novo process. Treatment is difficult but can be possibly achieved with optimization of immune suppression. Abstract Non‐lupus full house nephropathy is a rare entity with an unclear incidence. It describes the kidney biopsy findings of positive deposits for IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, and C1q on immunofluorescence in the absence of the classical diagnostic features of systemic lupus nephritis. This disease entity is becoming more recognized but further studies are still needed to evaluate the incidence, etiologies, and management of this condition. Transplant glomerulopathy is a major cause for renal graft loss. It can present with a wide variety of manifestations; it can cause AKI, CKD, or glomerular inflammations through an immune complex or autoimmune‐mediated damage.
