Monoclonal immunoglobulinaemia associated with glomerulopathy.

H Jensen, A Wiik

    Acta Medica Scandinavica
    |April 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Benign monoclonal immunoglobulinaemia can present with glomerulopathy. Immunohistochemistry revealed a strong monoclonal cell predominance in bone marrow, distinct from malignant conditions, aiding diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Hematology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Monoclonal immunoglobulinaemia is associated with kidney disease.
    • Distinguishing benign from malignant plasma cell disorders is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe four cases of benign monoclonal immunoglobulinaemia with associated glomerulopathy.
    • To investigate the utility of immunohistochemistry in characterizing bone marrow plasma cells in these patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed clinical case descriptions.
    • Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy.
    • Immunohistochemical staining for immunoglobulin-containing cells.
    • Conventional bone marrow cytology.

    Main Results:

    • Four patients presented with benign monoclonal immunoglobulinaemia and glomerulopathy.
    • Immunohistochemistry showed a marked predominance of monoclonal over polyclonal immunoglobulin-producing cells in bone marrow.
    • This monoclonal predominance was observed despite the cells constituting only 6-12% of nucleated cells, differing from malignant plasma cell proliferations.
    • Conventional cytology did not reveal such a clear monoclonal predominance.

    Conclusions:

    • Immunohistochemistry is a valuable tool for identifying monoclonal immunoglobulin-producing cells in the bone marrow of patients with benign monoclonal immunoglobulinaemia and glomerulopathy.
    • The findings suggest a distinct pattern of B-cell abnormalities in these cases compared to overt plasma cell malignancies.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the pathogenesis linking monoclonal immunoglobulinaemia and glomerulopathy.
