Abstract

The article presents the case study of a 59-year-old female with acute renal failure, anaemia, immunoglobulin (Ig)G lambda paraproteinaemia, lytic bone lesions and bone marrow plasmacytosis with no evidence of amyloid deposition. A repeat marrow biopsy was done which confirmed myeloma-associated amyloid. Bortezomib-dexamethasone therapy was given to the female.
