Resolution of cast nephropathy following free light chain removal by haemodialysis in a patient with multiple myeloma: a case report
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>Acute renal failure in multiple myeloma is most frequently caused by cast nephropathy, when excess monoclonal free light chains co-precipitate with Tamm-Horsfall protein in the distal nephron, causing tubular obstruction. The natur...
