Finding the ideal balance between efficacy and safety of immunosuppression is challenging, particularly in cases of severe TAFRO syndrome. We herein report a 60-year-old man diagnosed with grade 5 TAFRO syndrome mimicking hepatorenal syndrome that was successfully treated by glucocorticoid, tocilizumab, and cyclosporin despite virus infection. Furthermore, by examining 14 peer-reviewed remission cases, we revealed that the recovery periods among inflammation, renal dysfunction, and thrombocytopenia were quite different, with recovery from thrombocytopenia notably slow. All patients requiring dialysis were successfully withdrawn from dialysis, and the reversibility from kidney injury was good. This clinical information will help clinicians plan treatments and tailor the intensity of immunosuppression.

Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease (RDD) is a non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis characterized by the accumulation of histiocytes inside the lymph nodes or extranodally. The association between RDD and IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is discussed. We herein report a case of RDD manifesting as acute tubulointerstitial nephritis mimicking IgG4-RD. The first renal biopsy showed severe tubulointerstitial nephritis with infiltration of S100-positive histiocytes and IgG4-positive plasma cells; storiform fibrosis and obliterative phlebitis were not confirmed. After prednisolone therapy, IgG4-positive cells and S100-positive histiocytes were decreased, but the IgG4/IgG ratio increased despite clinical improvement. These findings indicated extranodal RDD in the kidney presenting as tubulointerstitial nephritis.
