OLASCOAGA-MESIA, Ana C et al. Nephrotic syndrome due to light chain deposition disease with extra-renal AL amyloidosis. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.3, pp.181-185. ISSN 1018-130X.

We present the case of a 58-year-old male patient who developed nephrotic syndrome in a period of two months. A monoclonal IgM kappa band was found with serum immune fixation. A biopsy of the oral mucosa showed the presence of likely AL amyloid, and the renal biopsy showed deposit of kappa light chains in the messangium with negative lambda chains.

Palabras clave : Nephrotic syndrome; paraproteinemias; amyloidosis; kidney diseases.
