Divided into four parts, the first part of this book includes contributions from leading investigators in B-cell proliferations, immunoglobulin synthesis, secretion and structure, light chain uptake and metabolism in the kidney. The second and third parts focus on the tubule and the glomerulus.

Therefore, we believe' that the term MIDD should be restricted to this pathological entity, whatever the Ig content of the deposits, light 4 5 ) or both (LHCDD ). However, the chains (LCDD), heavy chains (HCDD New York group used the denomination MIDD for both Randall's disease and immunoglobulinic amyloidosis'S". The two processes have many features in common (Table I) and they can be associated in the same patients.
