Acute Renal Colic Due to Immunoglobulin Free Light Chain Kidney Stones: A Case Report of an Unusual Complication of Multiple Myeloma

Kidney failure is common in patients with a monoclonal gammopathy, most frequently due to hypercalcemia or myeloma cast nephropathy. Immunoglobulin crystallization is an uncommon phenomenon that also results in kidney injury. We report the case of a 74-year-old man with recurrent renal colic and acute kidney injury. He presented with κ light chain Bence-Jones proteinuria, hypogammaglobulinemia, anemia, and high plasma κ light chain level, leading to the diagnosis of κ light chain multiple myeloma.
