Light chain disease and massive proteinuria.
We describe the case of a 64-year-old man with lambda type light chain disease, in whom panhypogammaglobulinemia was associated with anemia, massive Bence Jones proteinuria (24.6 g/L), and renal failure. Lambda type light chains were present in the serum.
