Proliferative Glomerulonephritis with Monoclonal IgG Deposits Associated with Membrano-Proliferative Features: Case Report

Abstract

Ma?gorzata W?growska- Danilewicz and Marian Danilewicz

Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits (PGNMID) is a recently described entity. It is featured by glomerular nonorganized monoclonal immunoglobulin G deposits. Monoclonal IgG deposits are associated with glomerular proliferative lesions, mimicking different types of immune-complex glomerulonephritis. We report two classic cases of PGNMID which fulfilled all criteria of this disease. We conclude that recognition of proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits requires routine immunostaining for light chain and IgG isotype.
