Abstract
A case is described of B-cell lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukaemia associated with membranous glomerulonephritis in which the subepithelial deposits of immunoglobulin showed kappa light chain restriction by immunofluorescence. Surface IgG-kappa immunoglobulin was demonstrated on the malignant B cells, and a monoclonal protein of the same type was eluted from kidney. The mechanism of membranous glomerulonephritis in this type of lymphoid malignancy is clearly different from that in epithelial malignancies. Copyright 2003 S. Karger AG, BaselEntities:
