Kidney disease is a common complication of monoclonal immunoglobulin (MIg)-secreting B-cell disorders and predominantly occurs in patients who do not meet the criteria for an overt hematological disease. To distinguish this situation from monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, which lacks organ damage, the term monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) was introduced to depict the association of a small, otherwise indolent B-cell clone, with renal disease induced by the secreted MIg. The spectrum of renal disorders in MGRS is wide, encompassing both tubular and glomerular disorders, classified according to the composition of deposits and their ultrastructural pattern of organization.

However, its indolent strain nature presents challenges in the diagnosis of the bacterium using clinical, laboratory, and culture-based methods. There are controversies surrounding its actual threat as an infection-causing agent, leading to an incomplete consensus on treatment strategies after the infection.

Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) involves combining a cytotoxic radionuclide with an antibody (Ab) targeting a tumor antigen. Compared with conventional therapies, RIT improves the therapeutic efficacy of Ab and ameliorates toxicity. This comprehensive review describes the current advancements and future prospects in RIT for treating hematologic malignancies based on recent investigations.
