Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance: A Comprehensive Review.

Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) is an asymptomatic premalignant plasma cell dyscrasia with a predominate rise of the IgG immunoglobulin fraction without end-organ damage, often diagnosed incidentally. Despite its progression into various subsequent forms of hematological malignancies, MGUS remains underdiagnosed. A literature search was conducted using the Medline, Cochrane, Embase, and Google Scholar databases, including articles published until December 2022. Keywords used encompassed "Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance," "Plasma Cell dyscrasia," "Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance," and "IgM Monoclonal gammopathy of Undetermined Significance," This study aimed to conduct a critical review to update knowledge regarding the pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical features, diagnostic protocols, complications, and current and novel treatments for MGUS. We recommend a multidisciplinary approach to manage MGUS due to the complexity of the illness's etiology, diagnosis, and therapy. This comprehensive review also highlights future prospects, such as developing screening protocols for at-risk populations, prevention of disease progression by early diagnosis through genome-wide association studies, and management using Daratumumab and NSAIDs.
