Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a kidney disorder diagnosed using CT-guided biopsy in patients with atrophy. Treatment with daratumumab showed effectiveness in a multiple myeloma case.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Hematology
- Oncology
Background:
- Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) involves monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain deposition in kidneys, potentially leading to end-stage kidney disease.
- Diagnosing LCDD typically requires kidney biopsy, but imaging challenges arise with atrophic kidneys.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
