What's in a name? Bence Jones protein
Plasma cell disorders are important in the differential diagnosis of acute kidney injury and of renal impairment with proteinuria. One or more of several mechanisms can be involved, such as cast nephropathy, deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulins, formation of amyloid fibrils, hypercalcaemia, hyperuricaemia and a variety of tubular syndromes. Various tests, such as serum electrophoresis and i...
متن کاملThe Fate of Injected Bence Jones Protein
Bence Jones protein injected into rabbits was excreted rapidly into the urine. The excreted protein retained the physicochemical and immunochemical properties of the injected Bence Jones protein. In spite of the rapid excretion, a significant portion of the injected Bence Jones protein was found to be metabolized. After reinjection of radioactive Bence Jones protein into the donor patient, only...

متن کاملBence Jones myeloma with signet-ring-like plasma cells.

Two cases of myeloma with signet-ring morphology have been reported so far. To the best of our knowledge, the following is the first case of signetring cell Bence-Jones myeloma. A 69-year-old man presented with cachexy, dehydration, liver enlargement and multin...
متن کاملIntranuclear inclusions in Bence Jones lambda plasma cell myeloma.
A patient with plasma cell myeloma producing only Bence Jones lambda protein was found to have pale intranuclear inclusions in the majority of the bone marrow plasma cells. These inclusions, previously undescribed in myeloma patients producing only Bence Jones protein, contained Bence Jones lambda protein, were non-electron dense, bound by a single membrane, and contained no cytoplasmic structu...
