Introduction: The term monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) has been described to include patients with renal manifestations associated with circulating monoclonal proteins with or without a clonal lymphoproliferation (B-cell or plasma cell) and not meeting diagnostic criteria for an overt hematological malignancy. A host of MGRS-associated lesions have been described that involve various renal compartments. Our study describes the histomorphological spectrum of MGRS cases at our center in the last 5 years and description as per the classification system of the International Kidney and Monoclonal Gammopathy Research Group (IKMG). Material and Methods: Retrospective analysis was carried out of all the renal biopsies with characteristic monoclonal immunoglobulin lesions for histopathological diagnosis between years 2015 and 2020 and reviewed by two independent pathologists. Results: Most patients in the study belonged to the fifth decade, with a median age of 50 years (mean 50.14 ± 10.43) range (24–68 years) with a male preponderance. Most patients presented with proteinuria as the sole manifestation (66.6%). Many of the patients (48%) had an M spike by serum protein electrophoresis or urinary protein electrophoresis with an abnormal serum free light chain assay (60.8%). AL amyloidosis was the most common diagnosis observed on histopathological evaluation (68.7%), followed by light chain deposition disease (10.4%). Conclusion: MGRS lesions are infrequently encountered in the practice of nephropathology and pose a diagnostic challenge due to the limitation of a congruent clinical or hematological picture. A thorough histological examination with immunofluorescence and electron microscopy often precipitates in the right diagnosis and prompts timely management. |
