Heavy chain deposition disease and heavy-chain-associated amyloidosis are recent newcomers of this group. Recognition of morphological features of these lesions is important, since renal manifestations occur often in the absence of overt manifestations of multiple myeloma or other plasma cell dyscrasias. Demonstration of an abnormally predominant deposition of one light chain by immunofluorescence study using antikappa and lambda light chain antisera in addition to routine heavy chain staining has been crucial in diagnosing some of these monoclonal light chain-related diseases.}, pages = {173--196}, title = {Renal Lesions in Multiple Myeloma and Related Disorders}, volume = {43}, year = {1995} }
