摘要
In a 56-year-old white male patient, a membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis Type I was diagnosed after a 12-month history of low grade B cell lyrnphoma (Binet A). HIV, Hepatitis B and C serology were negative. Due to an impairment of renal function despite chemotherapy with COP, an in,imunocheiriotherapy consisting of rituximab (6 cycles) and bendamustine (4 cycles) was given. This therapeutic approach caused a complete remission of the nephrotic syndrome. Renal function and arterial hypertension improved markedly. In addition, urinary sediment became normal and proteinuria disappeared completely.
