Renal Lesions in Multiple Myeloma

Renal lesions in multiple myeloma refer to damage or abnormalities in the kidneys caused by this type of cancer. Multiple myeloma is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of plasma cells, which produce harmful proteins that can accumulate and affect kidney function. This can lead to symptoms like fatigue, swelling, or changes in urine output. Renal lesions can be detected through imaging or biopsies, and their management is crucial, as kidney health is vital for overall well-being. Treating multiple myeloma often helps improve kidney function and reduce damage to the renal system.
