K s ight chain deposition disease (LCDD) is characterized by the deposition of or immuoglobulin light chains in many organs, includng the kidney. The disease frequently is ssociated with multiple myeloma or other lymhoplasmacytic proliferative disorders, although significant number of patients with LCDD how no evidence of bone marrow abnormaliies. LCDD frequently has been reported to ecur after renal transplantation, inevitably folowed by graft failure. Multiple myeloma also as been considered a major cause of light chain eposition in renal allografts and to show a high ate of recurrence. The most characteristic feature of LCDD is odular glomerulopathy resembling diabetic gloerulosclerosis. The mesangial nodules are comosed of extracellular matrix proteins admixed ith the monoclonal light chain deposits. Glomerlar basement membranes (GBMs), tubular baseent membranes (TBMs), and vessel walls are ariably thickened as a consequence of subendohelial light chain deposition. Clinically, various egrees of proteinuria and renal insufficiency are ommon manifestations, and rapid deterioration n kidney function can occur as a consequence of isease progression. We report a case of LCDD progression more han 4 years after renal transplantation, with a etrospective analysis of serial biopsy specimens hat showed gradual progression of light chain eposition in the renal allograft.
