Masked Crystalline Light Chain Tubulopathy And Podocytopathy With Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis: A Rare Mgrs-Associated Renal Lesion

Monoclonal Gammopathy of Renal Significance (MGRS) encompasses a wide spectrum of histopathology. Characterizing rare forms of MGRS-related renal pathology remains work in progress. Light chain crystalline podocytopathy in the context of MGRS, either in isolation or combined with proximal tubulopathy (LCPT) has rarely been described. Unravelling MGRS pathologies is critical for patient management and often requires ancillary techniques for antigen retrieval to demonstrate light chain (LC) restriction on immunofluorescence (IF).
