Recurrent Hypoglycaemia due to Insulin Autoimmune Disease (Hirata Disease) Associated with Monoclonal Gammopathy of Unknown Significance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hirata disease is a rare disease characterised by recurrent episodes of hypoglycaemia due to anti-insulin antibody. In most of these cases causative agents were sulfhydryl containing compounds like Penicillamine, Glutathione, and Methimazole. The presentation of disease closely mimics insulinoma. We report 52 years female patient presenting with recurrent episodes of hypoglycaemia due to anti-insulin antibody. On evaluation, underlying cause of antibody was found to be monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS).

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...

BACKGROUND Multiple myeloma (MM) and its precursor, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), have been linked with several autoimmune conditions in the medical literature. Yet, significance of these associations is not well understood. METHODS Herein, we provide a comprehensive literature review on autoimmune disorders identified in patients with MM and MGUS. Most relevant p...
متن کاملUnusual Manifestations of Essential Monoclonal Gammopathy. II. Simulation of the Insulin Autoimmune Syndrome
In rare cases, the monoclonal immunoglobulin that characterizes essential monoclonal gammopathy interacts with a self-antigen with functional consequences and a resulting clinical syndrome. This event is presumably random and results from the clone of B lymphocytes making a monoclonal immunoglobulin that simulates an autoimmune antibody. Thus, by chance, the monoclonal immunoglobulin has suffic...

Type I cryoglobulinemia, a condition associated with lymphoproliferative disorders, is caused by monoclonal immunoglobulins that precipitate at low temperatures. It mostly involves the skin and pathology study shows no signs of vasculitis. Management is usually based on immunosuppressive drugs associated with plasmapheresis for severe disease. The use of rituximab has recently been described fo...
