Hypercalcemia, renal failure, and relapse in multiple myeloma. 1985

S M Crawford

Forty-two patients with multiple myeloma that responded to initial treatment were observed for at least 6 months during a 2-year period. Eleven deaths occurred, seven of these being associated with hypercalcemia. None of these patients developed renal insufficiency before the serum calcium level rose, although kidney function deteriorated later in five of them. In those patients who are susceptible, hypercalcemia appears to be a good early indicator of relapse in multiple myeloma.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009101	Multiple Myeloma	A malignancy of mature PLASMA CELLS engaging in monoclonal immunoglobulin production. It is characterized by hyperglobulinemia, excess Bence-Jones proteins (free monoclonal IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) in the urine, skeletal destruction, bone pain, and fractures. Other features include ANEMIA; HYPERCALCEMIA; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.
