Total Recovery from Monoclonal Gammopathy and Autoimmune Phenomena After Parathyroidectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on the observation of a patient with a causal relationship between hyperparathyroidism and development of both autoimmune disease and paraproteinemia, we hypothesize a novel cause of autoimmunity triggered in the context of hyperparathyroidism.

A Patient with Abnormal Kidney Function and a Monoclonal Light Chain in the Urine.
Monoclonal gammopathy is increasingly recognized as a cause of kidney injury. These renal conditions behave differently than ones without monoclonal gammopathy and require specific treatment. To avoid misdiagnosis, testing for paraprotein should be performed in addition to vasculitis and autoimmune diseases serologies in adults with unexplained AKI or proteinuria. Because the prevalence of mono...
متن کاملQ-fever presenting as an autoimmune disease: case report and review
Q fever is a worldwide zoonosis caused by the intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetti. Autoimmune phenomena associated with the disease may obscure the clinical picture, and in many reports mislead physicians to an initial diagnosis of an autoimmune disease. We present a case of chronic Q-fever, complicated by myocarditis/pericarditis, where patient’s initial signs, symptoms and laboratory fi...
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...
متن کاملAutoimmune manifestations in patients with multiple myeloma and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance☆
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 کاملRecovery of renal function succeeding stem cell transplant: a case of C3 Glomerulonephiritis secondary to monoclonal gammopathy
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/...
