Introduction Multiple myeloma is cancer of monoclonal plasma cells produces large amounts of IgG (55%) or IgA (25%) high levels of IL-6 may be present Epidemiology most common primary tumor arising within bone in the elderly If asymptomatic called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) increased gamma globulin on serum electrophoresis but no symptoms of multiple myeloma are present Presentation Symptoms bone pain sequelae associated with hypercalcemia sequelae associated with renal failure Evaluation Serum protein electrophoresis monoclonal immunoglobulin spike (M protein) Urinalysis Ig light chains (Bence Jones protein) Peripheral blood smear Russell bodies Ig containing inclusion bodies seen in plasma cells RBC rouleaux formation Igs coat RBC and neutralize the ionic charge than normally repels RBCs Bone marrow aspiration proliferation of large monoclonal plasma cells "fried-egg" appearance Serology hypercalcemia result of bone degradation due to cytokine production that activates RANK receptor on osteoclasts prolonged bleeding time Imaging punched-out lytic bone lesions on x-ray Prognosis, Prevention, and Complications May lead to renal insufficiency ↑ susceptibility to infection anemia primary amyloidosis (AL) Poor prognosis

He has also been feeling fatigued for the last several months and says he has lost about 20 pounds. On laboratory exam, his creatinine has increased from baseline, and his serum calcium is 11.5 mg/dL. He is referred to a nephrologist, and the results of a renal biopsy are shown in Figure A. Microscopic examination of the urine demonstrated the presence of eosinophilic casts. What is the most likely explanation for his renal findings?
