Unlike overt multiple myeloma or B-cell proliferation, MGRS does not meet those diagnostic criteria. However, it is associated with significant morbidity, due to severe renal, and sometimes systemic, lesions induced by the MIg.

Proteasome inhibitors related thrombotic microangiopathy: a systematic and comprehensive review.

Blood Cancer J

November 2024

Department of Hematology, Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital, Westlake University, School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.

Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) are crucial in treating multiple myeloma but carry a risk of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), especially with carfilzomib use. This systematic review includes 44 studies with 115 cases of PI-induced TMA, where carfilzomib was implicated in 101 cases. Treatment approaches varied: 28 patients received supportive care, 43 underwent therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), 9 were treated exclusively with eculizumab (ECU), and 13 received both TPE and ECU.
