Hemorheological and coagulation aspects in plasmacytoma

We reported the main rheological and coagulative features in seven patients affected with monoclonal gammapathy: four of them presented IgA class paraprotein, two IgM class paraprotein and one IgG class paraprotein. All presented increased plasma and serum viscosity. The four patients affected with IgA monoclonal paraproteinaemia underwent one plasma volume plasmapheresis. This procedure has been demonstrated to be useful and effective in reducing both plasma and serum viscosity.
