| Popis: |
Fifty-eight-year-old male admitted for evaluation of nephrotic syndrome and chronic diarrhoea was detected to have Immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL Amyloidosis) which was congo red inconclusive from renal biopsy. Bone marrow biopsy showed monoclonal plasma cells of 40% and light chain assay showed predominance of immunoglobulin lambda light chain. The diagnosis was neither fitting into the current diagnostic criteria for light chain Monoclonal Gammopathy of Renal Significance (MGRS) nor light chain myeloma. Literature is scarce regarding patients with AL amyloidosis having underlying clonal expansion not meeting the criteria of light chain myeloma or light chain MGRS. |
