Monoclonal Gammopathy-Associated Neuropathy

Published in:

Abstract

Purpose of Review

Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is more commonly seen in individuals with monoclonal gammopathies, especially in patients with an IgM monoclonal gammopathy or Waldenström macroglobulinemia.

Recent Findings

There are multiple potential ways that the paraprotein may result in peripheral neuropathy. The diagnosis and management of monoclonal gammopathy-associated PN are challenging and necessitate a concerted effort between the hematologist/oncologist and the neurologist.

Summary

This review describes the most common PN syndromes associated with monoclonal gammopathy, such as anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein neuropathy, light chain amyloidosis, cryoglobulinemia, POEMS, CANOMAD, and others. We also review the therapies used to treat these conditions.
