A 43-year-old male with severe back pain was diagnosed in 2011 with IgA kappa multiple myeloma associated with multiple lytic bone lesions (costal and pelvic lesions). The bone marrow biopsy was consistent with MM. The immunohistochemistry study showed CD38+ and kappa+. Induction chemotherapy ...
Proteasome inhibitorstrigger the death of myeloma cells by loading them up with defective proteins. Bortezomib (Velcade) is one that’s often used. It can be injected into a vein or under theskin. Other proteasome inhibitors include carfilzomib (Kyprolis), which you get in an IV, and ixazomib...
We present a 57 year old female patient with IgG multiple myeloma and marked hyperphosphatemia. The patient had no clinical symptoms related to hyperphosphatemia.
