Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) can present with myriad of morphological features. We report a case of MGRS in a 46-year-old man who presented with nephrotic-range proteinuria and renal insufficiency. Renal biopsy showed amorphous eosinophilic periodic acid-Schiff positive deposits in capillary loops and lamda light chain positivity on immunofluorescence, suggestive of cyoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis. Serum cryoglobulins were positive. Serum immunoelectrophoresis and immunofixation showed a M band of 0.5 g/dl of IgG lambda type. Bone marrow showed 8% of plasma cells which confirmed the diagnosis of MGRS.
具有肾意义的单克隆丙种球蛋白病(MGRS)可表现出多种形态学特征。我们报告一例46岁男性的MGRS病例,该患者表现为肾病范围蛋白尿和肾功能不全。肾活检显示毛细血管袢有非晶形嗜酸性过碘酸希夫染色阳性沉积物,免疫荧光显示λ轻链阳性,提示冷球蛋白血症性肾小球肾炎。血清冷球蛋白阳性。血清免疫电泳和免疫固定显示IgG λ型M带为0.5 g/dl。骨髓显示8%的浆细胞,确诊为MGRS。
