Abstract EN
Multiple myeloma (MM) is an uncommon hematologic malignancy accounting for 1% of all malignancies.
Renal involvement is a common complication of MM.
Rapid intervention to reverse renal dysfunction may be critical for management, especially in patients with light chain cast nephropathy.
Recovery rate ranges from 5% to 15%.
We describe an atypical presentation of MM in a young patient who presented with severe renal insufficiency requiring renal replacement therapy and achieved complete renal recovery with chemotherapy.
