Three cases of de novo multiple myeloma after kidney transplantation
Abstract
Light chain-associated kidney compromise is frequent in patients with monoclonal gammopathies; it affects the glomeruli or the tubules, and its most common cause is multiple myeloma. It may develop after a kidney transplant due to recurrence of a preexisting multiple myeloma or it can be a de novo disease manifesting as graft dysfunction and proteinuria. A kidney biopsy is always necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
We describe three cases of kidney graft dysfunction due to multiple myeloma in patients without presence of the disease before the transplant.
