抄録 | Tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) with IgM-positive plasma cells (IgMPC-TIN) is an autoimmune kidney disease characterized by IgM/CD138-double-positive plasma cell infiltration in the tubulointerstitium. A 50-year-old man developed IgMPC-TIN and presented with crystalline inclusions in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Intracellular crystal formation is a rare finding in paraprotein-related kidney diseases, but this case showed no pathogenic monoclonal immunoglobulin. Prednisolone (PSL, 30 mg) improved the TIN, but PSL tapering resulted in the recurrence of TIN. Combination therapy with 15 mg PSL and 150 mg mizoribine ultimately stabilized TIN. This case offers original evidence concerning the pathophysiology and treatment strategy of IgMPC-TIN.
