Introduction
Amyloidosis is a disorder caused by deposition of insoluble misfolding proteins as fibrils leading to organ dysfunction. Incidence of AL Amyloidosis is 9 cases per million. Monoclonal gammopathy manifested as renal interstitial amyloidosis is a rare disorder.
Case Description
54 yo F with history of hypothyroidism, covid 19 presents to primary care provider (PCP) with fatigue. Cr was noted to be 1.28 mg/dl, eGFR 50ml/min. Urinalysis was bland, and urine protein to creatinine ratio was 0.2 g/g. Renal U/S: Normal. SPEP: Normal. Serum free light chains (LC) K 249.23 mg/L[3.3-19.4], λ 10.90 mg/L[5.71-26.3], elevated K/λ LC ratio of 22.87[0.26-1.65]. Bone marrow biopsy(BMBx): plasma cell dyscrasia,15% of the population of K-restricted plasma cells, negative Congo Red stain. Skeletal survey: negative. Renal Biopsy: proximal tubulopathy, monoclonal kappa light chain related and Interstitial renal amyloid deposition.
Discussion
Isolated K related monoclonal gammopathy manifested as renal interstitial amyloid is a rare disease entity scarcely reported in literature. We report a case of this patient with mild symptoms and minimal serum Cr elevation, no significant proteinuria with elevated K/λ LC ratio. BMBx: K-related plasma cell abnormality. Renal biopsy: K LC proximal tubulopathy along with interstitial amyloid deposits. Treated with lenalidomide, bortezomib, dexamethasone[6 cycles]. Achieved remission confirmed on BMBx. Had autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Remains in remission on lenalidomide maintenance dose 20 months post auto-HCL. Renal function stable with serum Cr ~ 1-1.2 mg/dL with bland urine.
