Paraproteinaemia and renal papillary necrosis in three women: coincidence or not?
Three women with acute-on-chronic renal failure and renal papillary necrosis were found to have a paraproteinaemia. One of the patients also had Bence Jones proteinuria. Although this may be a coincidental finding, it is suggested that the paraproteinaemia may be a sequel to analgesic nephropathy.
