Paraproteinemic Neuropathies: A Review for Neurologists Neuropatías.

As part of the workup polyneuropathy, neurologists often encounter patients with paraproteinemias, also called monoclonal gammopathies. Given relatively rising prevalence both polyneuropathy and paraproteinemias in our aging population, this coexistence is frequently due to chance. Still, certain types have a well-defined causal role development therefore has implications their subsequent work-up management. Once gammopathy been deemed as “benign” or undetermined significance, looking at heavy chain subtype paramount deciding whether it related polyneuropathy. Conversely, polyneuropathies associated gammopathies tend distinct clinical, serological, and/or electrodiagnostic phenotype that helps establishing an association. Recognizing association will determine appropriate
