Abstract
L chain glomerulopathy occurred in a middle-aged woman with adult-onset diabetes mellitus and IgG-.kappa. L chain multiple myeloma. Unusual features of the glomerulopathy included the presence of numerous epithelial crescents and rapid progression to chronic renal failure. The aggressiveness of her disease may be related to her underlying diabetes mellitus and associated abnormalities in glomerular clearance of macromolecules, including Ig L chains.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
