Abstract:Immunotactoid glomerulopathy (ITG) is a rare cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage-renaldisease (ESRD). It is often associated with monoclonal gammopathy and/or hematologic malignancy. We report a patient originally diagnosed with ITG in 1998. He presented with nephrotic-range proteinuria, hypertension, and a gradual decline in glomerular filtration rate. A published case report of this patient at the time the disease was originally diagnosed described only a small peak of IgM paraprotein without… Show more
“…Gabbay and colleagues described a 83-year-old male patient who was initially diagnosed with MGUS and ITG 14 years prior to the report. 10 He ultimately succumbed following progression of MGRS to WM and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Given the evidence currently available in the literature, we assumed our patient to be at increased risk for progression to WM or ESRD and with her minimal burden of comorbidities; we determined that it was in her best interest to treat her disease aggressively to prevent these outcomes.…”

“…Typically, ITG is more closely associated with malignant conditions such as CLL, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, 7 and to our knowledge, there has only been one other case report of ITG associated with IgM MGRS. Gabbay and colleagues described a 83‐year‐old male patient who was initially diagnosed with MGUS and ITG 14 years prior to the report 10 . He ultimately succumbed following progression of MGRS to WM and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.…”
