Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma causing light chain cast nephropathy.
Plasma cell dyscrasias are frequently associated with kidney disease through the production of monoclonal immunoglobulin but with a diverse set of pathologic renal patterns. While almost all patients with a renal biopsy showing a cast nephropathy have myeloma, kidney involvement associated with pathological immunoglobulin light chains and lymphoma is rare. To our knowledge, this is the first re...
متن کاملLambda Light Chain Crystalline Cast Nephropathy and Proximal Tubulopathy
INTRODUCTION P lasma cell dyscrasias such as multiple myeloma (MM) result from clonal proliferation of plasma cells and subsequent overproduction of Igs, including free light chains. Renal dysfunction is a core manifestation of plasma cell dyscrasias. A broad range of kidney pathologies can occur, including light chain cast nephropathy, monoclonal Ig deposition disease, light chain amyloidosis,...
متن کاملWaldenstrom's macrogloblinemia/ lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.
Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM) is a distinct clinicopathological entity resulting from the accumulation, predominantly in the bone marrow, of clonally related lymphocytes, lymphoplasmacytic cells and plasma cells which secrete a monoclonal IgM protein (Figure 1). This condition is considered to correspond to the lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) as defined by the Revised European American ...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of monoclonal antibody based serum immunoglobulin free light chain immunoassays in myeloma cast nephropathy
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The development of serum immunoassays for the measurement of immunoglobulin free light chains has led to a paradigm shift in the diagnosis, assessment and monitoring of patients with plasma cell dyscrasias. The impact of these immunoassays which employ polyclonal antibodies was most notable for those patients who were previously classified as non-secretory multiple myel...
متن کاملLambda light chain myeloma with oliguric cast nephropathy and remission with bortezomib, doxorubicin and dexamethasone.
Cast nephropathy is one of the major causes of renal failure in patients with multiple myeloma resulting from precipitation of free light chains inside the tubules. Timely diagnosis and treatment confers a better prognosis though around 10% of patients with cast nephropathy remain dialysis dependent in spite of treatment. We report the clinical course and outcome of a patient presenting with ac...
