Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Light Chain Deposition Disease (LCDD) is a rare disease characterized by deposition of monoclonal non-amyloid light chains in multiple organs (1). It was first described about three decades ago. Due to varied clinical presentation and many differential diagnosis on morphology it is both under reported and under diagnosed (1, 2, 3). Here we report a case of 65 year old male patient who was diagnosed with light chain nephropathy and was a case worth presenting in view of very high quantity of these light chains with normal calcium and no lytic lesions which seldom exists in literature globally.
