Immunoglobulin (Ig)-related amyloidosis is the most common type of systemic amyloidosis in the developed countries and involves the kidney in most cases. Clinical remission can be achieved with chemotherapy and/or autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Previous case reports have showed persistence of renal amyloid mass in light-chain amyloidosis (AL) even in the setting of hematologic and renal response.
