37RenalThe patient is a 61-year-old woman who was in her usual state of health until 1.5 years ago, when she had fatigue and was found to have anemia.  A subsequent medical evaluation revealed that she had diabetes, and she was started on metformin.  One year prior to the kidney biopsy, she was found to have a pancreatic tail mass, for which she underwent distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. Two months prior to the kidney biopsy, she was found to have an elevated serum creatinine at 2.0 mg/dl.  Other laboratory results at the time of biopsy include negative ANA, normal serum C3 and C4, negative anti-MPO and anti-PR3, no monoclonal protein detected in the serum, slightly increased serum kappa to lambda free light chain ratio at 1.68, and urine protein to creatinine ratio 0.23 grams/gram. She had pyuria. The kidney biopsy and a section from the distal pancreatectomy are provided. H&E KR
