Monoclonal Gammopathy of Uncertain Significance

  • < 10% bone marrow plasma cells : 小於一成
  • < 3g/dL M protein : 小於3g
  • ✓ CBC, Ca, Cr, SPEP, serum free light chains, UPEP w/ immunofixation (to exclude MM)
  • Close observation:
    • repeat SPEP in 6 mo, then yearly thereafter if stable
  • ~1%/y or ~25% lifetime risk
    • → MM, WM, amyloidosis, or malign. lymphoproliferative dis.
  • Abnormal serum free light chain ratio & M protein ≥1.5 g/dL:
    • ↑ risk of progression to MM
