The limited number of studies of serum proteins and paraproteins in women with silicone implants, and the lack of a controlled study taking into account CTD as an additional possible risk factor for serum protein abnormalities, prompted this case-controlled investigation. Paraproteinemia is most often associated with MGUS, which in turn may be a precursor of MM, macroglobulinemia, amyloidosis, or related diseases [21]. Subjects with MGUS often have autoantibodies [22] or autoimmune manifestations [23], and subjects with rheumatic diseases are reported to have higher rates of MGUS [15]. A critical aspect of our case-control study design was therefore to match subjects not only by age, but also by CTD diagnosis to minimize possible confounding. We also used highly sensitive agarose gel electrophoretic and immunofixation electrophoresis methods to maximize detection of serum paraproteins. Because it is possible that FMS patients may differ from inflammatory CTD in the risk of paraproteinemia, we ...

We describe a patient being investigated for anaemia where the lipaemia index on a Beckman Coulter DxC800 analyser was markedly elevated and out of keeping with the visual appearance of the serum. Subsequent investigation revealed a monoclonal IgM kappa immunoglobulin with type I cryoglobulin behaviour. The patient was then diagnosed with a non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma. We later identified a second patient with a similar anomalous index with an IgM lambda paraprotein, and a known marginal zone splenic lymphoma but were unable to confirm cryoglobulin behaviour prior to treatment. A review of 50 consecutive IgM paraproteins revealed no other anomalous lipaemia indices. We postulate that it is the properties of the paraprotein that determine its cryoglobulin behaviour that also render it susceptible to precipitation in the index diluent, not the fact of it being an IgM paraprotein per se. This appears to be the first reported case of a paraprotein identified following an anomalous lipaemia ...

The term paraprotein was introduced by Apitz in 1940 to describe the proteins in blood, urine or tissues that are produced by myeloma cells. However, the abnormally occurring protein in urine, later identified as the monoclonal light chain component of the immunoglobulin molecule was first described by William Maclntyre in 1846 and thereafter called Bence-Jones protein.. In a situation where there is proliferation of a single clone of B-cells, the antibody product will consist of a single heavy chain class and sub-class, light chain type and idiotype. Such antibody will represent a homogenous protein migrating as a compact band in electrophoretic separations. This is a paraprotein or monoclonal immunoglobulin.. Paraproteins are thus the earliest described tumour markers and remain an important diagnostic feature in multiple myeloma. However, it has now become clear that paraproteins are found in many individuals and are associated with a wide range of disorders, other than multiple myeloma. ...

Im actually talking about my Myeloma! Ive been to the hospital today, I had an appointment with Dr Lee. As Im not having my Stem Cell Transplant until September and Ive had 6 Cycles of the PAD regime, we needed to discuss what was going to happen in the meantime. My paraprotein has plateaued at 11, so having further PAD cycle would not improve my situation in fact Dr Lee is concerned that it could in fact make it worse as each PAD cycle I have weakens the heart and will increase the pain I have been suffering in my legs caused by the Neuropathy. So what would be the benefit, well it would keep the paraprotein level at 11, but the cost of it could be seriously detrimental. Another alternative would be to do nothing, but we dont know if the paraprotein level would increase, which would make the last six months pointless or if it would actually stay at 11. With the way my Myeloma has been very aggressive, it is unlikely to stay at 11, so we cancelled that idea out.. Dr Lee explained that my ...

CANOMAD syndrome is a rare chronic immune-mediated demyelinating polyneuropathy. CANOMAD stands for Chronic Ataxic Neuropathy Ophtalmoplegia IgM paraprotein Cold Agglutinins Disialosyl antibodies. Signs and symptoms of CANOMAD may include loss of muscle, tendon, and joint sensation, abnormal gait (walk), ataxia, tingling sensation on the skin around the mouth or extremities, paralysis of eye muscles, difficulty swallowing and speaking, and rarely respiratory muscle weakness. This condition is caused by the presence of anti-diasialosyl antibodies in the body. Oral or intravenous corticosteroids, §-interferons, plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulin, and cytotoxic drugs have all been used in treating CANOMAD with limited success ...

If my paraprotein has only dropped by one or two this month, they will probably deem me as not responding to treatment (or as having had a partial response) in which case, they will take me off the Revlimid and do a randomisation to see whether (on the trial) I either still go straight to transplant, or whether I have to start on a drug called Velcade. It is unlikely in these circumstances that they would put me through anymore on Revlimid. Im not sure which would be the worst deal on this, as to go straight to tranpslant without being in full remission, in some fields, would suggest Ill get less time in remission from the transplant.....and that isnt really something I even want to consider. BUT, to have revlimid will require me to go into hospital two to four times a week and obviously with 2 young kiddies and a husband in a new job, that wont be easy to juggle! And god only knows what the side effects will be of that ...

Off to the Marsden with my big sister today (Nick and I decided he needed to get to work and make sure they let him keep his job!) for what we thought would be a relatively quick appointment. Oh why havent we learnt our lesson???? In at 10am and out at just before 2pm….urrrgggghhhh!!!. Anyway, 2.5 hours after giving blood and having my zometa (which is a bisphosphonate to strengthen the bones) we finally got in to see one of the registrars….now I sort of wondered if this was a sign as I was pretty sure that if there was anything major to be told, or anything that was going to be changed on that day, that I would have been told to see my consultant not the registrar. Ominous from the start!. So results: Well, my hb (haemoglobin has dropped down to 10.8 again but nothing too worrying, and my total protein has gone down too. Now it isnt a straightforward link, and you cant rely on it, but seeing your total protein drop can often be an indicator that your paraprotein (pp) has also dropped. ...

Review question. What are the benefits and harms of treatments for nerve damage associated with abnormal IgG and IgA proteins in the blood?. Background. Paraproteinaemic neuropathy refers to those neuropathies associated with a paraprotein (an abnormal antibody or immunoglobulin (Ig) present in relative excess in the blood). Paraproteins come from a group of blood disorders called monoclonal gammopathies. If the paraprotein is present without evidence of any underlying disease, this is known as a monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (MGUS). This review looked at the treatments for neuropathy associated with and possibly caused by IgG and IgA paraproteins. The optimal treatment is not known. Treatments that act on the immune system such as plasma exchange, corticosteroids or intravenous immunoglobulin have been examined in nonrandomised studies of people with IgG and IgA paraproteinaemic neuropathy.. Study characteristics. We identified only one randomised controlled trial (RCT), which ...

To the Editor: Purine analogues, including cladribine (2-chlorodeoxyadenosine), are increasingly used in the treatment of Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia and other hematologic cancers. (1) Cladribine can cause profound immunosuppression, lymphopenia, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections. (2) We report on a patient with Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia in whom an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated diffuse large-cell lymphoma developed after treatment with cladribine. A 69-year-old woman received the diagnosis of Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia with IgM kappa in 1991. Because of the progression of the disease, treatment with standard doses of cladribine was initiated in June 1994 and repeated in August 1994. The patient had a remarkable response, with alleviation of her symptoms and more than 90 percent reduction of the serum paraprotein level. Five months after the completion of treatment with cladribine, pain developed in the right hip, and a right acetabular lytic lesion was ...

I had my appointment with Dr Tuegar at the Countess of Chester Hospital. I normally see Dr Lee but he is off on his hols. Today was to find out how my paraprotein was doing. The took the blood test last Thursday and based upon the result we were going to decide what to do over the next few weeks while I wait for my transplant. Ive mentioned before about the neuropathy in my feet and that why they didnt want to give me any more Velcade and over the last fours days I have been taking just the Dexamethasone on its own.. The time before last my paraprotein was 12 and before that 10. Well today I was told it was 18, so its going in the wrong direction. This puts me in an awkward situation as to what happens over these next three to four weeks while I wait for the transplant.. The plan at the moment is see my paraprotein is on Friday based on the blood they have taken today. Unless something miraculous has happened over the last week with the Dex, this is going to be either higher (which I expect) ...

Results revealed that more FG patients were female (1.3:1) while more males had ITG (1.4:1). FG Was much more common in Caucasians than in blacks (9:1). In both FG and ITG, proteinuria was universal, and nephrotic syndrome (70 - 86%), hematuria (64 - 75%), hypertension (45 - 85%) and renal insufficiency (42 - 54%)) were very common; no clear clinical picture differentiated between the two pathologic groups. When broken into groups with slow, intermediate, or rapid deterioration in renal function (by 1/Cr slope), patients who progressed more rapidly not surprisingly were more likely to be nephrotic and to have worse hypertension. Five renal transplants were performed in four patients, with recurrence of fibrillary deposits on graft biopsy in three. However the rate of transplant loss was much slower than that of the native kidneys, raising the question of whether the immunosupression modified the disease course. When patients with circulating or urinary paraproteins were included, malignancy was ...

A taxonomist, for example, when investigating variation in morphological measurements on animals for which all the pairwise correlations are likely to be positive, will often be more concerned with the second and subsequent components since these might provide a convenient description of aspects of an animals shape; the latter will often be of more interest to the researcher than aspects of an animals size which here, because of the positive correlations, will be reflected in the first principal component. Similarly, the first m components give the best fit in m dimensions. If the observations fit exactly into a space of m-dimensions, it would be indicated by the presence of q-m zero eigenvalues of the covariance matrix. This would imply the presence of q-m linear relationships between the variables. Such constraints are sometimes referred to as structural relationships. 1 is in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix, S. In practice, however, it is far more ...

The indices are not especially suggestive of myeloma as a diagnosis, but the level of paraprotein fulfils referral guidelines.. The likely diagnosis is Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Unless there are any concerning symptoms the Haematologist would be unlikely to perform any invasive investigations such as bone marrow biopsy. The risk of progression to myeloma can be stratified based on the paraprotein isotype, level of paraprotein and light chain ratio.. In this case the patient would fall into the low-intermediate Mayo risk group, estimating a 20 year risk of progression to myeloma at 21%, or 10% when taking death as a competing factor into account.. The detection of a high total protein is one of the most common ways that MGUS is identified. The correct follow up is dependent on the risk of progressing to myeloma.In this case the risk is relatively low, so this case could be followed up in primary care.. It is advised to repeat the original tests in 3/12, and then ...

Current approaches to assess tumour load are based on morphological assessment of bone marrow biopsies and electrophoresis to detect changes in the serum and urine paraprotein levels. However, sensitivity is limited, and in actual clinical practice even patients achieving a stringently defined complete remission (CR) eventually relapse as a consequence of MRD. New and more sensitive approaches to measure MRD are based on flow cytometry (FC) and PCR. Numerous strategies - rarely comparable between studies -have been applied. In theory, MRD monitoring may provide the very strongest prognostic information, which could be the basis for a risk-adapted therapy of MM, and in practice it is the fastest way to evaluate potential responses to therapy and to detect relapse early. However, its actual prognostic value still has to be elucidated ...

Objective: To determine the characteristics of oligoclonal bands that are frequently detected by serum proteinelectrophoresis (SPEP) and immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) after stem cell transplantation. Methods: Weretrospectively analyzed 56 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing transplantation, and standardimmunofixation electrophoresis was used to identify and quantify paraproteins. Results: The median follow-upwas 35 months (range, 10-76months) and 21 patients relapsed. Twelve (25.0%) demonstrated oligoclonal bandsafter a median time 1.4 months (range, 1-3months), with a median duration of 5.8 months (range, 1-15months).The majority patients with oligoclonal bands had normal quantities of immunoglobulins and the one year eventfree survival (EFS) was 92%, even higher than for patients without OBs (P=0.002). Conclusion: Oligoclonalbands frequent develop post-transplantation in MM cases. In the vast majority of patients, they may notrepresent relapsed disease, and more likely represent a
