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...

Unusual 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...
