Renal failure in multiple myeloma: reversibility and impact on the prognosis
Abstract
Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to analyse the importance and prognostic value of renal failure in multiple myeloma patients. The frequency and reversibility of renal failure in 775 multiple myeloma patients diagnosed between 1984–86 and 1990–92 in the Nordic countries were studied. Renal failure, defined as plasma creatinine >130μmol/l, was observed in 29% of the cases at the time of diagnosis. During the first year after diagnosis 58% achieved normalisation of p‐creatinine, and this was achieved mainly during the first 3 months. Reversibility of renal failure was more frequently observed in patients with moderate renal failure, hypercalcaemia and low Bence‐Jones protein excretion. In a multivariate analysis renal failure, high age, stage III disease and hypercalcaemia were independent prognostic factors for survival. Patients who needed dialysis had a poor prognosis, with a median survival of 3.5 months. A 12‐months landmark analysis showed that reversibility of renal failure was a more important prognostic factor than response to chemotherapy. It is concluded that renal failure in multiple myeloma is reversible in about half the cases, and reversibility of renal failure improves long‐term survival.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
