Light Chain Deposition Disease Diagnosed with Renal Biopsy: A Case Report

Özet

Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a rare disease and the most common subtype of monoclonal immunglobulindeposition disease (MCDD). The most commonly affected organ is the kidney, characterized by nodular glomerulosclerosisand proteinuria at the nephrotic level. The LCDD is often associated with underlying plasma cell dyscrasias or lymphoproliferative diseases. The investigation of the underlying disease is very important for the treatment. We herein present a caseof nodular glomerulosclerosis with nephrotic syndrome—a case of a 53-year-old woman who presented with acute renalfailure with no previously known disease and was diagnosed with rarely seen LCDD, and whose subsequent examinationsrevealed a plasma cell neoplasm.
