Unusual Case of Nephrotic Syndrome From Light Chain Amyloidosis in a 37-Year-Old Patient.

Amyloidosis with renal involvement is a well-known cause of nephrotic syndrome. Immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis (AL), which is a result of monoclonal light-chain deposition in the kidney from plasma cell dyscrasia, is rare before the age of 40 and typically occurs in old patients. Most cases of renal amyloidosis in young patients are secondary to chronic inflammatory disease.
