In this case series, we discuss the clinical, analytical, and histopathological findings of two rare cases of LHCDD. Both patients exhibited IgA monoclonality and were diagnosed with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) by the hematology department at the time of renal biopsy. Treatment with steroids and cytotoxic agents targeting the clone cells responsible for the deposition disease resulted in a favorable renal and hematologic response.
