Abstract:

Light/heavy chain deposition disease is a clinically rare disease in which kidney is the most commonly affected organ,and usually manifested heavy proteinuria and renal insufficiency. Blood/urine free light chain ratio is of diagnostic value. Renal pathology is an important method for diagnosis of kidneyinvolved light/heavy chain deposition disease in which light microscopy, electron microscopy, and immunopathology are all indispensable for the diagnosis. Nodular glomerulosclerosis is a typical pathological change under light microscope. Autologous stem cell transplantation is considered conducive to improve the prognosis of patients with renal involvement. Here, the research progress in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment, as well as prognosis of light/heavy chain deposition disease has been reviewed.

Key words: Light/heavy chain deposition disease, Nodular glomerulosclerosis, Autologous stem cell transplantation
