Post-Transplant Monoclonal Gammopathy of Renal Significance: A Case Report

Abstract

The term monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance has been used to classify the presence of a monoclonal gammopathy or lymphoproliferative disorders that do not meet hematological criteria for myeloma but instead cause kidney damage. Mostly, post-transplant monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance occurs due to recurrent disease. In contrast, the incidence of de novo post-transplant monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance has not been established, as it is considered a rare disease, presenting a unique challenge in terms of diagnosis, management, and potential impact on graft survival. Here, we report a case of de novo monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance diagnosed after kidney transplantation and its complexity due to a concomitant chronic active antibody-mediated rejection.
