چکیده
Nonamyloidotic light-chain cardiomyopathy is a paraproteinemia-induced disorder. Unlike amyloidosis, light chain deposition may be reversible with appropriate treatment. We report a case of fatal light chain deposition disease manifested as cardiomyopathy, which was complicated by arterial embolism despite the maintenance of sinus rhythm.

A 63-year-old woman presented with progressive renal insufficiency, until a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 12 mL/min. A renal biopsy demonstrated glomerular deposition of immunoglobulin κlight chain. The presence of a small population of monoclonal plasmacytes producing an only light κmonoclonal component was demonstrated and Bortezomib and Dexamethasone (BD) was provided as initial therap...

Hazenberg BPC. Clinical approach of patients with systemic amyloidosis Amyloidosis is the name of diseases characterised by deposition of protein fibrils with a beta-sheet structure. This beta-sheet structure generates affinity of amyloid for Congo red dye and is resistant to proteolysis. The main three types of systemic amyloidosis are AA (related to underlying chronic inflammation), AL (relat...
متن کاملBlood stem cell transplantation to treat cystic lung light chain deposition disease.
Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a rare disease resulting from non-amyloid immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain deposition in tissue. In systemic LCDD, plasma cell dyscrasia is common and renal involvement is almost always present, sometimes with damage to other organ systems (cardiac, hepatic and neurological systems). LCDD can be limited to the lungs, presenting as multiple cystic lung dis...
متن کاملAmyloid Light-Chain Amyloidosis Manifesting as Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction in a Patient with Hyper-Immunoglobulin E-emia.
BACKGROUND Considering the increased prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) as a result of the aging population, the pathophysiology of HFpEF needs to be examined. Furthermore, many comorbidity profiles in patients with HFpEF have been reported. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a well-known specific etiology of HFpEF. Cardiac amyloidosis, which mimics infiltrative an...
