Individuals can present with proteinuric renal impairment or, more rarely, tubular dysfunction. Diagnosis is often challenging because of the wide range of disease manifestations, difficulties with detection of the pathogenic clone and the common finding of an incidental paraprotein in elderly individuals. The combination of a renal biopsy along with a full haematological work-up is required to link a paraprotein to kidney disease. Chemotherapy directed at the plasma cell clone can halt the production of the paraprotein, which can in turn benefit renal function. Early diagnosis and the use of rapidly effective chemotherapy agents have improved patient and renal outcomes for these disorders. date: 2023-04 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mpmed.2023.01.009 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2013098 doi: 10.1016/j.mpmed.2023.01.009 lyricists_name: Lachmann, Helen lyricists_id: HJLAC80 actors_name: Lachmann, Helen actors_name: Berkeley, Jean actors_id: HJLAC80 actors_id: JBERK64 actors_role: owner actors_role: impersonator full_text_status: public publication: Medicine volume: 51 number: 4 pagerange: 273-279 issn: 0025-7974 citation: Pinney, JH; Rana, R; Lachmann, HJ; (2023) Paraprotein-related renal disease.
