Multicenter StudyImmunoglobulin free light chain levels and recovery from myeloma kidney on treatment with chemotherapy and high cut-off haemodialysis.
To determine the efficacy of immunoglobulin free light chain (FLC) removal by high cut-off haemodialysis (HCO-HD) as an adjuvant treatment to chemotherapy for patients with acute kidney injury complicating multiple myeloma (MM). ⋯ The combination of extended HCO-HD and chemotherapy resulted in sustained reductions in serum FLC concentrations in the majority of patients and a high rate of independence of dialysis.
