Abstract
Immunocytic dyscrasias may be manifested by MIDD often presenting with renal manifestations. The diagnosis is established when deposits are shown by immunopathologic methods to contain a single light-chain isotype in patients who have a monoclonal Ig in the serum or urine, altered kappa:lambda ratio in bone marrow, and/or abnormal biosynthesis of Igs in bone marrow cell cultures. The morphologic expressions of deposits are varied: fibrillar in AL, granular and punctate in LCDD, granular or crystalline in LHCDD, and crystalline in type I cryoglobulinemia.Entities:
