Clinical history: • A 40 year old male with no previous comorbidities presented with complaints of facial puffiness and oedema of lower extremeties of 7 months duration. • Found to have proteinuria and was referred to Nephrologist
General Physical examination- • PICKL- Negative • Pedal and periorbital oedema-+ • Normotensive (BP-110/80mmHg) • Systemic examination: NAD
Laboratory investigations- • SCreatinine -1.1mg/dL • 24hr urine protein -6.9g • Urine - 3+ protein with no active sediments • Serologies: • Negative for HCV, HBsAg, HIV, ANA • dsDNA, c-ANCA, p-ANCA • Rheumatoid factor and cryoglobulin • LFT- WNL • CBC- No significant abnormality
Clinical diagnosis • A syndromic diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome was considered and an ultrasound guided percutaneous kidney biopsy was performed. • Clinical possibilities- • Membranous glomerulonephritis • Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
H/E stain PAS stain
H/E stain PAS stain
Biopsy findings Light microscopic examination Suggestive of Membranous Glomerulonephritis
IgG C3
KAPPA LAMBDA
IgG2 IgG1 IgG3 IgG4
Direct immunofluorescence staining • 8 glomeruli • Granular positivity (3+)along capillary loops • IgG • C3 • Kappa IgA,IgM,C1q, PLAR 2- Negative • IgG Subtyping –IgG3 + Monoclonal IgG3-kappa deposition and C3 along the glomerular capillary loops
Electron microscopy revealed subepithelial electron dense immune deposits.
Diagnosis • Monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease with membranous nephropathy • LM: Diffusely thickened GBM • DIF: IgG3,Kappa, C3 deposits • EM: Subepithelial Immune complex type deposits
Post biopsy work-up • SPEP, UPEP, BJP- Negative • Serum free light chain assay- ↑κ : λ ratio (5.2:1) • Bone Marrow: 2% of plasma cells • Serum Ca- WNL • Radiology: No lytic lesions
Monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease associated with membranous features
Therapy • Patient was treated with steroids
Follow up • Symptomatic improvement with↓Proteinuria • Serum free light chain assay- Awaited
Till date 13 cases of MIDD with membranous morphology have been described in the English literature. This is the fourteenthsuch case worldwide • Only three (21%) of the 14 patients with available data had a monoclonal protein in serum or urine • Three cases had overt B-cell neoplasms
Definition • The modified criteria for proliferative GN with monoclonal IgG deposits: • The presence of glomerular monoclonal IgG deposits restricted to a single IgG subclass and a single light chain isotype, associated with membranous features without proliferative patterns • The presence of granular (‘immunecomplex type’) deposits by electron microscopy • The absence of clinical and laboratory evidence of cryoglobulinaemia
Distinct entity or just a different morphological manifestation of the same disease? • Therapy?
