Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance
نویسنده
چکیده
RESULTS: Of the 359 patients, 330 had nonevolving MGUS, whereas 29 fulfilled the criteria for evolving MGUS. Overall, 32 patients developed malignant transformation. The progression rates at 10 and 20 years of follow-up for the evolving and the nonevolving types were 55% vs 10% and 80% vs 13%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the features significantly associated with a higher risk of progression were evolving MGUS (relative risk [RR], 12.14; P<.001), IgA MGUS (RR, 2.93; P=.006), and M protein concentration (RR, 2.18; P=.04).

The presence of a low level of M protein in the peripheral blood <3gm/dl which is below the required cut off for the diagnosis of plasma cell myeloma is known as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Elevated levels of serum M protein and detection of M band on serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) can occur in chronic diseases not related to B cell disorders and not always d...
