Abstract: | We reported a 32-year-old man presenting with acute heart failure associat-
ed with nephrotic syndrome. Dyspnea on exertion and pretibial edema appeared 4 weeks
after flu-like symptoms. Proteinuria was never pointed out before onset. Laboratory data
on admission showed 7.4g/day of proteinuria, and hypoalbuminemia (2.97g/dl). Dilated
cardial shadow and congestion were observed in chest roentgenogram. Endomyocardial
biopsy revealed swelling of myocytes and interstitial fibrosis without inflammatory infil-
trates, suggesting subsiding or healing stage of myocarditis. Renal biopsy specimen
disclosed mild mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis accompanied by IgA deposits.
Thus the patient was diagnosed as having congestive heart failure due to myocarditis and
IgA nephropathy. Clinical symptoms and cardiac shadow were improved by administration
of digitalis and diuretics. In parallel with recovery of clinical symptoms, proteinuria was
decreased in amount and reached to 0.3g/day. The clinical course suggested that latent
IgA nephropathy was evoked by congestive heart failure and developed nephrotic syn-
drome. Although proteinuria is not an uncommon findings in patients with congestive heart
failure, proteinuria exceeding 1g/day or nephrotic syndrome is extremely rare. We discuss
relationship between proteinuria and heart failure documented in the literature. |
