DiscussionABBA renal disease typically occurs in males over the age of 60, who present with acute kidney injury (AKI) and subnephrotic proteinuria, and typically progress rapidly to ESKD. 1, 2 The disease process is thought to occur from IgG antibodies developing against anti-LRP2 and, together with C3, deposit as immune complexes within the TBM of the PCT, and to a lesser degree, the subepithelial membrane of the glomerulus. 1, 2 LRP2 normally functions to reabsorb albumin and other proteins within the PCT and is a major autoantigen in systemic autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. 4 To date, only 11 cases of ABBA renal disease have been reported, the first report in 2016. 1–3 The demographics of patients previously reported to have ABBA have not shown any correlation to the presence of malignancy. However, there are reports of ABBAs present in the sera of patients with Crohn’s disease. 5 Renal biopsies in patients with ABBA disease show extensive tubular damage, with electron microscopy highlighting immune complex deposits along the TBM and GBM. These deposits stain positive for IgG and anti-LRP2/megalin via immunofluorescence. Optimal treatment remains unclear. A retrospective analysis of 10 patients noted that only one patient had serologic remission following treatment with prednisone and cyclophosphamide. 1 The other patients that were treated with observation, rituximab or prednisone had various outcomes; five required renal replacement therapy. 1 One patient received a transplant and had recurrence of the disease. 1, 2 Our case highlights a rare, yet important, cause of severe and progressive AKI. Future work is needed to determine the best detection methods and treatment options.
