Acute renal failure in multiple myeloma.

L J Booth, J A Minielly, E K Smith

    Canadian Medical Association Journal
    |August 17, 1974
    PubMed
    Summary

    Acute renal failure can precede multiple myeloma diagnosis. In one case, renal function recovered with intermittent peritoneal dialysis, showing potential reversibility.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Hematology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy.
    • Renal impairment is a common complication of multiple myeloma.
    • Acute renal failure (ARF) can be the presenting feature of multiple myeloma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report two cases of ARF preceding multiple myeloma diagnosis.
    • To highlight the potential reversibility of renal failure in multiple myeloma.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report analysis.
    • Review of clinical presentation and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Two patients presented with ARF before a diagnosis of multiple myeloma was established.
    • One patient experienced oliguria post-venogram, with renal function recovery after two weeks of peritoneal dialysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Acute renal failure may be an early indicator of multiple myeloma.
    • Intermittent peritoneal dialysis can be an effective treatment for reversible renal failure in multiple myeloma patients.
