Description The aim of this report is to emphasise that monoclonal immunoglobulin may be present in B-CLL as well as other lymphoprolipherative diseases and that it may cause damage to organs, similar to multiple myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. The described case confirms poor prognostic value of monoclonal immunoglobulin free light chains in patients with B-CLL and usefulness of an evaluation of their presence in patients with B-CLL, particularly if the patients have increased creatinine level. The described case also highlights the need for evaluation of the presence of free light chains in the serum of all patients with unclear cause of renal failure.
