Progression of Monoclonal Gammopathy with Undetermined Significance to Multiple Myeloma Diagnosed by Kidney Biopsy: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Monoclonal gammopathy with undetermined significance (MGUS) carries a risk of progression to multiple myeloma, and progression is usually diagnosed with changes in M-protein or bone marrow biopsy. We report a case of 62-year-old female patient showing MGUS progression to multiple myeloma without significant changes in M-protein but diagnosed by kidney biopsy. During the follow-ups, azotemia and tubular proteinuria were aggravated without elevation of M-protein. Kidney biopsy showed intratubular and glomerular inclusions associated with plasma cell dysplasia. The progression of MGUS to multiple myeloma was diagnosed by this kidney biopsy. The patient's renal function and tubular proteinuria were markedly improved after chemotherapy.

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...

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...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is consistently preceded by precursor states of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). These represent a continuum of progression of the tumor burden from the absence of symptoms or signs of end-organ damage towards full-blown symptomatic disease. MGUS, by definition presenting by monoclonal gammopathy without end o...

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...

Extracapillary-proliferative glomerulonephritis is a rare complication of multiple myeloma. Partial remission of kidney involvement with cyclophosphamide therapy has previously been described. We report the case of a 60-year-old male patient diagnosed with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis associated with IgG kappa monoclonal gammopathy. His kidney biopsy revealed pauci-immune extracapilla...
