%X Multiple myeloma is a malignant plasma cell disorder that affects the
kidney with<span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> <span>various clinical
presentations. The most common renal manifestation of multiple</span> myeloma
is myeloma cast nephropathy. We are describing a young patient with mul<span>tiple myeloma presented with back pain, anemia and
renal impairment. The renal</span> biopsy showed a </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">myeloma cast nephropathy. She was treated with
myeloma chemo<span>therapy, high cut-off
hemodialysis and autologous hematopoietic stem cell trans</span><span>plantation with good outcome. We report this rare
case of multiple myeloma pre</span><span>sented
with myeloma cast nephropathy (MCN) in a young patient to describe the</span> evidence of light chain removal strategies including plasmapheresis and high
cut-off hemodialysis for the management of myeloma cast nephropathy.</span>
