Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common type of leukemia in western countries. The association between CLL and glomerular disease (GD) is rare. The most frequent GD associated with CLL is membranoproliferative membranous glomerulonephritis (GN) (MPGN) (45%) types I and II, followed by membranous glomerulonephritis, with the same reports of immunotactoid glomerulopathy (ITG). We report a case of ITG diagnosed on kidney biopsy in a CLL patient and the response of renal parameters to drug treatment for CLL. The patient was treated with several lines of therapies with a good response.
Keywords: chronic lymphocytic leukemia; immunotactoid glomerulopathy.
