Abstract

IntroductionThree years daily use of ketoprophen due to dysmenorrhea-pelvic pain, after 2 m.os drug suspension proteinuria 4g/day didn’t quit, MCD or MGN connected with nSAID abuse was suspected. Four years before hypercholesterolemia was already present.Father affected from Behcet syndrome.During a 8 m.os follow up a monoclonal gammopathy, low C3 (26 mg/dl, n.v. 80-180) and IgG levels (306 mg/dl n.v.700-1600) were detected, C4 levels being 22 mg/dl (n.v. 10-40). Proteinuria raised to 8g /day, Total proteins 4.1 g/dl, Creatinine Clearance 166 ml/min’. Ketoprophen more than 6 mo.s use was associated in women 50-59 y.o. with monoclonal gammopathy, 0.07 % in a series of 11300 users that suffered of side effects during treatment.MethodsIgG and C3 low levels on two subsequent exams, hematuria and hyaline-granular casts made us decide for renal biopsy (RB).ResultsConclusionsWork up on complement in the patient and her father, particularly on factor H polymorphism e.g. rs800292 SNP correlated with clinical activity in Behcet disease is advisable.Monoclonal gammopathy intensive investigation for clonal therapy is deserved for a may be gammopathy of renal significance.A possible overlap between genetic and acquired complement dysfunction is possibleNo conflict of interest IntroductionThree years daily use of ketoprophen due to dysmenorrhea-pelvic pain, after 2 m.os drug suspension proteinuria 4g/day didn’t quit, MCD or MGN connected with nSAID abuse was suspected.
