Massive proteinuria in light chain disease.

A 33-year-old man with overall renal function in the lower normal range had daily excretion in the urine of between 31 and 70 gm of protein composed entirely of free monoclonal K light chains. K light chains were also present in the serum. Serum protein electrophoresis and findings on bone marrow and lymph node biopsy were diagnostic of light chain disease. Amyloid was absent from renal tissue. General clinical improvement and almost total disappearance of protein from the urine followed treatment with phenylalanine mustard.

Pseudo-obstruction and a sprue-like syndrome from stronglyloidiasis.

Symptomatic disease from Strongyloides stercoralis has been recognized for the first time in Trinidad. Five cases are reported, all showing clinical features suggestive of a sprue-like syndrome. Subtotal jejunal villous atrophy was seen in one case and partial villous atrophy in two. Three patients had laparotomies because of suspected partial intestinal obstruction. A sprue-like syndrome in certain Caribbean immigrants should arouse a suspicion of S. stercoralis.

Hereditary nephritis (with unusual renal histology): report of a first case from the West Indies.

A 21-year-old Grenadian girl undergoing investigation in Trinidad for anaemia was diagnosed as a case of hereditary nephritis. She had the clinical features of a nephropathy, nerve deafness and an ocular defect. Renal histology was exceptional in that in addition to the typical findings of a hereditary nephritis, cystic areas generally associated with medullary cystic disease were noted. Several members of the patient's maternal family were afflicted with either deafness visual distrubances or renal disease.
