A Rare Presentation of Nephrotic Syndrome in a Child Following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
A 13-year-old girl with transfusion-dependent thalassemia major underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in 2024. Her recovery after the transplant was uneventful, and cyclosporine, an immunosuppressive medicine, was stopped after one year. Six months after stopping immunosuppression, she developed swelling around the eyes and swelling of both feet for four days. She did not have reduced urine output, visible blood in the urine, fever, skin rash, oral ulcers, hair loss, joint pain, or any ...
A Rare Presentation of Nephrotic Syndrome in a Child Following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
A 13-year-old girl with transfusion-dependent thalassemia major underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in 2024. Her recovery after the transplant was uneventful, and cyclosporine, an immunosuppressive medicine, was stopped after one year. Six months after stopping immunosuppression, she developed swelling around the eyes and swelling of both feet for four days. She did not have reduced urine output, visible blood in the urine, fever, skin rash, oral ulcers, hair loss, joint pain, or any other systemic symptoms. She had no previous history of kidney disease or family history of kidney disorders. She had a history of chronic hepatitis C infection, which had been successfully treated three years earlier.
Investigations showed nephrotic-range proteinuria, with urine dipstick protein of 3+, a spot urine protein-to-creatinine ratio of >4.4 mg/mg, and 24-hour urinary protein of 4.2 g/day. She also had microscopic blood in the urine (8–10 RBCs/HPF) and low serum albumin (2.17 g/dL). Her blood pressure and kidney function were normal, with blood urea of 12.7 mg/dL and serum creatinine of 0.24 mg/dL. Tests for possible secondary causes, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and systemic lupus erythematosus, were negative.
A kidney biopsy showed Stage I membranous nephropathy. Immunofluorescence was negative, and immunohistochemistry was negative for Anti-PLA2R, THSD7A, NELL-1, and FAT1. There were no chronic changes in the kidney. The findings were consistent with membranous nephropathy presenting as nephrotic syndrome following HSCT. Nephrotic syndrome after HSCT is rare, occurring in approximately 1% of patients, and only a few pediatric cases have been reported.
The patient was treated with enalapril, oral prednisolone, and tacrolimus, and achieved complete remission within two months. At the 12-month follow-up, she remained well, with no swelling or hypertension. Urinalysis showed no protein or blood. Her 24-hour urinary protein had decreased from 4.2 g/day to 60 mg/day, and her serum albumin had improved to 4.63 g/dL. Kidney function remained normal, with serum creatinine of 0.4 mg/dL.
This case highlights membranous nephropathy as a rare late complication of HSCT, possibly related to changes in the immune system after stopping immunosuppressive treatment. Early recognition, timely kidney biopsy, and appropriate treatment helped achieve sustained remission and an excellent kidney outcome.

It was a very good experience, I had a cholecystectomy. All the doctors including surgeon, anesthetic, nursing and housekeeping staff were very supportive. I was admitted for 24 hours. Quick and very fast recovery. Under Dr P.K.Dewan, sir is very humble and nice.
