"renal manifestations of light chain deposition disease - renal involvement is a constant feature, resulting in proteinuria with or without nephrotic syndrome and renal failure."
"It is characterised by the deposition of a nonfibrillary, amorphous material that does not have β-pleated sheet configuration and consequently does not bind Congo red as amyloidosis. This eosinophilic material corresponds to monotypic immunoglobulin light chains deposits. The term “LCDD” is restricted to the nonamyloid forms of light chain deposition. Light chains are secreted by a clone of plasma cells"
"The condition was recognised in 1976 by Randall."
