Multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant tumor of plasma cell characterized by overproduction of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow and skeletal destruction. The clinical features are bone pain, renal impairment, immunodeficiency, anemia and presence of abnormal immunoglobulins (Ig).

A new form of myeloma "kidney": shortened hemofilter survival and implications for membrane filtration plasmapheresis.
Dana AP, Ahmar CA, Clapp WL, Ross EA.
Clin Nephrol. 2011;75(2):120-4.
A patient with IgG kappa chain multiple myeloma complicated by sepsis and acute renal failure was started on CVVH with a regional citrate anticoagulation protocol that typically yields filter life of >50 h. Polysulfone hemofilters repetitively clotted every 2-4 h, even after excluding circuit-related problems.

Acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis B during thalidomide therapy for multiple myeloma: a case report.
Bang SM, Kim SS, Park SH, Ahn JY, Cho EK, Shin DB, Lee JH.
Korean J Intern Med. 2004;19(3):196-8.
Based on the stable disease status of the multiple myeloma and exclusion of other hepatotoxic agents, it was assumed that the exacerbation of the hepatitis B virus during the thalidomide therapy preceded the bacterial sepsis.
