Gamma A myeloma with hyperviscosity and obstructive uropathy.

R M Roth, M M Glovsky, J F Cooper

    The Journal of Urology
    |April 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    A patient developed obstructive uropathy due to a proteinaceous mass in the kidney. This mass contained gamma A myeloma protein, a rare finding in multiple myeloma.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Oncology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy.
    • Hyperviscosity syndrome can occur in multiple myeloma.
    • Obstructive uropathy presents a significant clinical challenge.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms of hyperviscosity and obstructive uropathy.
    • Surgical exploration identified a proteinaceous mass obstructing the right renal pelvis.
    • Analysis of the mass and urine confirmed the presence of gamma A myeloma protein, kappa light chains, and albumin.

    Findings:

    • This case represents the first documented instance of obstructive uropathy in multiple myeloma caused by a paraprotein-containing proteinaceous matrix.
    • The obstruction was specifically linked to the patient's gamma A myeloma protein.

    Implications:

    • Highlights a novel mechanism of renal obstruction in multiple myeloma.
    • Suggests the importance of considering paraprotein composition in managing myeloma-related renal complications.
    • Underscores the need for early diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies for obstructive uropathy in myeloma patients.
