RESUMO
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a common malignant tumor of blood system, often manifested as bone destruction, hypercalcemia, and hyperviscosity syndrome. Electrolyte disturbance and hypertension caused by MM can induce posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). This case report reviews that a patient with osteodynia had several mental abnormalities, and was diagnosed as having κ light chain MM with PRES after thorough examination.
RESUMO
Objective To report 1 case with renal immunoglobulin light and heavy chain deposited disease (IgG-κ light chain and γ1 heavy chain).Methods The clinical manifestations,serum immunofixation electrophoresis,light and heavy chain abnormalities of blood and urine,bone marrow biopsy and renal biopsy data laboratory data were recorded and analyzed.Results A 63-year-old woman presented with massive proteinuria,microscopic hematuria,hypertension,anemia and serum IgG-κ light chain.Bone marrow aspirate revealed 4% plasma cells.Renal biopsy revealed nodular glomerulopathy with congo red staining-negative.Immunofluorescence showed that κ light chain and IgG1 (γ1 heavy chain) were deposited along the glomerular basement membranes (GBM) and tubular basement membranes (TBM).Electron-microscopy revealed electrondense deposits that delineate the outer aspect of TBM and endothelial aspect of GBM.Conclusion The diagnosis of renal immunoglobulin light and heavy chain deposited disease (IgG-κ light chain and γ1 heavy chain) should be addressed combine with clinical and is pathology,especially with immune pathological examination.
