A 53-year-old man with nephrotic syndrome and severe renal failure was diagnosed with light- and heavy-chain deposition disease (LHCDD) by renal biopsy. The patient had no monoclonal protein and mild marrow plasmacytosis (6%), but marrow plasma cells expressed CD19(-)CD56(+) and predominant monoclonal kappa-chain, indicating plasma cell dyscrasia. Conventional chemotherapy was ineffective and did not improve renal failure. High dose chemotherapy/peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (HDC/PBSCT) was introduced even after hemodialysis to eliminate aberrant clone and normalization of bone marrow cell surface markers. Immuno-phenotypic analysis of marrow cells facilitates clinical decision making regarding the use of HDC/PBSCT for LHCDD patients without monoclonal protein.
