A monoclonal spike on serum protein electrophoresis is a frequent finding in the general population and pathognomonic of a plasma cell dyscrasia. In otherwise healthy individuals, it is diagnostic of two asymptomatic, premalignant conditions called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) which carry a lifelong risk of progression to multiple myeloma (MM) or related malignancy. This article discusses the criteria for diagnosis of MGUS, SMM, and MM; current recommendations for follow-up and risk factors for progression to MM of patients with MGUS and SMM; and diagnostic evaluation of suspected MM transformation.
血清蛋白电泳上单克隆 spike 是常见于普通人群中的发现,也是浆细胞异常的特征。在其他健康个体中,它是两种无症状、前恶性疾病的诊断指标,分别称为意义未明的单克隆丙种球蛋白血症(MGUS)和冒烟型多发性骨髓瘤(SMM),这两种疾病终生有进展为多发性骨髓瘤(MM)或相关恶性肿瘤的风险。本文讨论了 MGUS、SMM 和 MM 的诊断标准;MGUS 和 SMM 患者进展为 MM 的随访和风险因素的当前建议;以及疑似 MM 转化的诊断评估。
