Abstract
- We report a 73-year-old male with no relevant past medical history who presented with nephrotic syndrome and jaundice. Subsequent studies revealed immunoglobulinM (IgM) monoclonal gammopathy. Kidney biopsy revealed monoclonal Ig deposition disease and amyloidosis. Bone marrow biopsy demonstrated <10% infiltration by lymphoplasmacytic cells. However, rapidly progressive hypergammaglobulinemia of IgM and hyperbilirubinemia were noted. Despite aggressive treatment, the patient developed acute kidney injury and complications of hepatic failure. He eventually died of pneumonia, just two months after diagnosis.
