What is the diagnosis? A) Acromegaly B) Amyloidosis C) Lipomatosis D) Mucopolysaccharidosis type 1 E) Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2b
B. Amyloidosis. It is when an abnormal protein called amyloid builds up in your tissues and organs. When it does, it affects their shape and how they work. Amyloidosis is a serious health problem that can lead to life-threatening organ failure.. It is caused by changes in proteins that make them insoluble, leading them to deposit in organs and tissues. These amyloid proteins accumulate mainly in the tissue space between cells. Changes in proteins that make them amyloid proteins occur because of gene mutations in DNA within cells

70 year Male, (comorbidities are controlled hypertension and severe depression) with history of productive cough, no fever, sweating profusely in winter. His first CBC was hb 12 and esr 150 in first hour, 120 In second hour, 3 months back. Subsequently his creatinine started rising, first report being 1.9 , lft showed slightly raised globulin, normal ALP, normal calcium. Subsequent cbc reported hb 11.2, WBC 15000 with predominant neutrophilia , and no sign of fever, profuse sweating was present, sputum AFB and gram stain was negative and sputum c/s was negative, no other focus of neutrophilia could be found. LFt again showed mild raised globulin, esr was still raised till 90, creat was 1.6. So anemia, raised creat, slightly raised globulin, with raised esr led me to send serum protein electrophoresis which brought back M band of 3g/L. So immunofixation studies and free light chain assay and 24 hr urinary protein was sent, reports are attached. Kappa and lambda are raised, serum microglobulin is raised. Its not multiple myeloma as immunofixation almost rules out....but I am not sure why is light chain high, why is microglobulin high, Can it be light chain disease? Because his creat is raised and egfr is 41..... Or is it amyloidosis? I can't seem to understand more than what I have done. I leave interpretation to teachers here to tell me what to think and how to proceed...where all I went wrong....what all should I think? Was my approach right?
