Heavy-chain deposition disease: a morphological, immunofluorescence and ultrastructural assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heavy-chain deposition disease (HCDD) is the least common of the monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition diseases with only 24 reported cases in English literature, including the present case. The rarity of this disease merits its documentation. We present a case of HCDD from our archival material, who presented with rapidly progressive renal failure and nephrotic syndrome and was found to have nodular glomerulosclerosis on renal biopsy which on immunofluorescence and electron microscopy confirmed HCDD of immunoglobulin G1 type without any light-chain deposition. We also present an in-depth literature review on HCDD.

Light and heavy chain deposition disease associated with CH1 deletion
Light and heavy chain deposition disease (LHCDD) is a rare complication of monoclonal gammopathy. In all documented cases, LHCDD is the association of deposits of a monoclonal light chain with a normal heavy chain, especially in the kidneys. We describe here a 78-year-old woman whose renal biopsy showed nodular glomerulosclerosis, initially diagnosed as diabetic nephropathy. Detailed kidney bio...
متن کاملA case of heavy chain deposition disease complicated by acquired angioedema
Heavy Chain Deposition Disease (HCDD) is rare, and presents with renal failure, proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and often hypocomplimenteniemia [1-3]. HCDD may mimic the pathology of immune complex, crescenteric glomerulonephritis, with isolated heavy chain deposits along mesangial, glomerular, and tubular Basement Membranes (BMs), without associated light chains [4]. The predominant heav...

Monoclonal Ig deposition disease (MIDD) is a rare complication of monoclonal gammopathy characterized by deposition of monoclonal Ig light chains and/or heavy chains along the glomerular and tubular basement membranes. Here, we describe a unique case of IgD deposition disease. IgD deposition is difficult to diagnose, because routine immunofluorescence does not detect IgD. A 77-year-old man pres...

BACKGROUND Monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease (MIDD) is a rare disease, usually manifesting between the 5(th) and 6(th) decades of life but can also occur earlier. Characteristic feature of MIDD is a non-fibrillar, Congo red negative deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulins in various organs, including the kidneys. Depending on the composition of the deposits, MIDD is classified into ...
