Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits (PGNMID) is a recently described disorder that belongs to the class of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance with the incidence of 0.17%. Monoclonal IgG deposits in glomeruli can produce a proliferative glomerulonephritis that mimics immune-complex mediated glomerulonephritis by light microscopy (LM) and electron microscopy (EM). Proper recognition of this disease requires confirmation of monoclonality by immunofluorescence (IF) staining. We present here a 50 year old female patient presented with nephrotic range proteinuria and normal renal function. Renal biopsy showed endocapillary and mesangial proliferation by LM. IF showed Ig G (+2) and C3 (+2) with positivity for Lambda light chain and Kappa light chain is negative consistent with PGNMID.

D005921 Glomerulonephritis Inflammation of the renal glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) that can be classified by the type of glomerular injuries including antibody deposition, complement activation, cellular proliferation, and glomerulosclerosis.

D015432 Glomerulonephritis, Membranoproliferative Chronic glomerulonephritis characterized histologically by proliferation of MESANGIAL CELLS, increase in the MESANGIAL EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX, and a thickening of the glomerular capillary walls. This may appear as a primary disorder or secondary to other diseases including infections and autoimmune disease SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS. Various subtypes are classified by their abnormal ultrastructures and immune deposits. Hypocomplementemia is a characteristic feature of all types of MPGN.
