Proliferative glomerulonephritis in monoclonal gammopathy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Episodes of acute kidney injury (AKI) have been associated with the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, follow-up pathways for patients who have survived AKI complicating critical illness are not well established. We hypothesised that patients who had AKI requiring renal replacement therapy...
