Recovery of renal function succeeding stem cell transplant: a case of C3 Glomerulonephiritis secondary to monoclonal gammopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) and C3 glomerulonephritis (C3 GN) can be secondary to monoclonal gammopathy and multiple myeloma. MPGN Type 1 is caused by activation of the classical pathway by immune complex formation, and C3 GN results from abnormalities in the alternative pathway of complement. In previously reported cases of MPGN and C3 GN secondary to monoclonal gammopathy/multiple myeloma, renal outcome has been poor. Here, we present the first patient, to our knowledge, who showed full renal recovery and normalization of the complement system after chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation.

Perirenal fluid collections and monoclonal gammopathy.
We report here a case with secondary polycythaemia, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and renal lymphangiectasis revealed by renal failure. Renal failure was probably linked to renal compression by fluid collections. Renal lymphangiectasis is a rare but has already been described in the literature. In addition, its association with a monoclonal paraprotein and polycythaemia see...
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of Monoclonal Gammopathy of Renal Significance With Bortezomib in the Setting of Post- Viral SARs-CoV-2 Infection: Case Report
Introduction: Monoclonal Gammopathy of Renal Significance (MGRS) is an immunoglobulin proliferative disorder that leads to the destruction of the renal glomerular basement membrane and progression to end-stage renal disease. The pathogenesis of MGRS is similar to that of multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic lymphoma but lacks criteria for either disease. This inability to characterize the d...
متن کاملSecondary monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance after allogeneic stem cell transplantation in multiple myeloma.
In the course of multiple myeloma, patients may develop a M-protein band different from the original: secondary monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. In this retrospective single center analysis, we describe the occurrence and clinical relevance of secondary monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (post-transplant monoclonal ga...
متن کاملNon Secretory Multiple Myeloma With HCV Infection: A Rare Case Entity
Multiple Myeloma is a neoplasm of B cell lineage characterized by excessive proliferation of abnormal plasma cells. It is characterized by a clinical pentad of 1) anemia, 2) a monoclonal protein in the serum or the urine or both, 3) bone leisons and or bone pain, 4) hypercalcemia >11.5g/dl and 5) renal insufficiency. Non secretory multiple myeloma is a rare variant of the classic form of multi...

The presence of a low level of M protein in the peripheral blood <3gm/dl which is below the required cut off for the diagnosis of plasma cell myeloma is known as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Elevated levels of serum M protein and detection of M band on serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) can occur in chronic diseases not related to B cell disorders and not always d...
