Smouldering myeloma, also known as smoldering myeloma, indolent myeloma or asymptomatic myeloma, is a very slow-growing type of myeloma which is characterised by a proliferation of malignant plasma cells and a subsequent overabundance of monoclonal paraprotein (M protein). Smouldering myeloma is a very early phase of myeloma and is devoid of symptoms but a bone marrow biopsy shows definite evidence of myeloma. ==Diagnosis== Smouldering myeloma is characterised by: * Serum paraprotein >30 g/L AND/OR * Clonal plasma cells >10% on bone marrow biopsy AND * ''No'' myeloma-related organ or tissue impairment 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smouldering myeloma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
