Abstract
Pathogenic roles of monoclonal immunoglobulins in kidney disease have been attributed previously to malignant plasma cell and lymphoproliferative disorders such as multiple myeloma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or amyloid light chain amyloidosis. Improved technology, advancements in molecular diagnostics, and highly sensitive imaging techniques have established the need to redefine monoclonal gammopathies and the kidney disorders that are associated with monoclonal immunoglobulins regardless of tumor burden. This has led to the establishment of monoclonal gammopathy with renal significance (MGRS). MGRS was defined by the International Kidney and Monoclonal Gammopathy Research Group in 2012 as a clonal proliferative disorder that produces a nephrotoxic monoclonal immunoglobulin and does not meet previously defined hematological criteria for treatment of a specific malignancy. MGRS encompasses a wide array of pathologies with knowledge surrounding its incidence, prognosis, and management continuously increasing. This review examines the current evidence on the diagnosis, prognosis, pathogenesis, and therapy of plasma cell dyscrasias and related MGRS.
