Renal LECT2 amyloidosis: a newly described disorder gaining greater recognition.
Clinical Nephrology 2015 October
Amyloidosis results from the pathologic deposition of beta pleated sheet fibrils within various organs including the kidney. Most often, the deposition is composed of the well-known monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains (AL) or serum amyloid A protein (AA). Recently, a new type of amyloidogenic protein was discovered, leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 (LECT2). This type of amyloid tends to have an affinity to kidney and liver and is recognized as a distinct clinico-pathologic type of amyloidosis, presenting with varying degrees of impaired kidney function and proteinuria. Herein, a case of this uncommon novel amyloidosis is presented with a brief review of the literature.
