Abstract
Immunotactoid glomerulopathy (ITG) is a rare disease diagnosed by kidney biopsy showing characteristic microtubules, often in parallel arrays, in glomeruli on electron microscopy. Most cases are caused by lymphoproliferative disorders that produce monoclonal immunoglobulins that cause kidney damage, but these disorders do not meet criteria for overt malignancy. The published literature on ITG is limited. In this issue of Kidney International, 2 manuscripts provide significant insight into the clinical presentation, pathology, and treatment of ITG.
