Monoclonal gammopathy and glomerulopathy associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Abstract
In this issue, Vilayur et al. describe the case of a patient with monoclonal gammopathy and glomerulopathy associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Although 'conventional; immunosuppression with cyclophosphamide and prednisone was unsuccessful, two courses of rituximab reversed the clinical manifestations of CLL-associated glomerulopathy, and resulted in complete clearance of the glomerular deposits.
