Aim:
to determine serum free light chains (FLC) level by patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and dialysis - dependent renal impairment in which the amount Bence Jones (BJ) protein in the urine met the criteria of hematological response.
Patients And Methods:
This study included 13 MM with dialysis - dependent renal impairment patients (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 10 ml/min), whose urine BJ protein content was less than 200 mg/day after antimyeloma therapy (including 11 patients whose urine BJ protein content was less than 100 mg/day).
Results:
The median serum concentration of monoclonal FLC was 608.7 (298-8380) mg/l. Thus, with trace amounts BJ protein in the urine serum content monoclonal FLC varied 28 times with the same degree of severity of renal failure. In patients with oliguria serum SLC content was significantly higher than in normal diuresis (1109 and 307 mg/L; p.

01:11Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
