Abstract/OtherAbstract:
IgD monoclonal gammopathies are uncommon. They are seen rarely as a monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and are present in 1% to 2% of patients with multiple myeloma. In light chain amyloidosis, IgD monoclonal proteins are found in approximately 1% of patients. When an IgD monoclonal protein is found, amyloidosis is often omitted from the differential diagnosis. Here, we review the natural history of IgD-associated amyloidosis among 53 patients seen over 41 years. The distribution of clinical syndromes suggests that these patients have a lower frequency of renal and cardiac involvement. The overall survival of these patients does not appear to be different from that of patients who have light chain amyloidosis associated with another monoclonal protein.
