    There is a genetic predisposition to any disease, but the chance of being actually inherited is very small, so it is better to worry less. Less anxiety and a happy mindset are the magic weapons to prevent cancer!

    Multiple myeloma is a relatively serious disease, which is actually a neoplastic disease of the blood system. Hematological diseases, tumors are non-solid tumors, not really growing a tumor, but due to abnormalities in the blood system, resulting in neoplastic diseases. Multiple myeloma, first of all, is plasmacytoma, which is a tumor cell that causes severe pain and is often regarded as a multiple fracture site.

    The feature is called crab. Among them, c, is hypocalcemia; r, which is the impairment of kidney function; A is anemia, anemia; b, is a bony lesion. Therefore, multiple myeloma will eventually cause bone damage.

    Characteristic imaging findings, such as chisel changes, are most common in the skull or flat bones with many small hole-like, chiseled X-ray findings, and of course, some non-skipping, continuous segmental multi-segmental lesions on the spine. Of course, if you do an examination and do blood immunofixation electrophoresis, there will be an increase in M protein. Neoplastic lesions of the blood system** can cause severe bone pain.

    Multiple myeloma has a very good effect on chemotherapy in the Department of Hematology. Disease analysis: the incidence of multiple myeloma in the affected population and in the occupational or ** radiation population is significantly higher than normal, and the higher the radiation dose, the higher the incidence, indicating that ionizing radiation can induce the disease, and its incubation period is longer, sometimes as long as more than 15 years.

    Long-term exposure to chemicals such as asbestos, arsenic, pesticides, petrochemicals, plastics and rubber has been reported to precipitate the disease, but most of these reports are fragmented and there is insufficient convincing evidence. Guidance: Patients should pay more attention in their daily life, and if necessary, they can try traditional Chinese medicine for traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, the common age of multiple myeloma is over 40 years old, and there are more men than women.

    2. There may be no obvious symptoms in the early stage of the lesion, only symptoms such as increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, anemia, and proteinuria. 3. The symptoms of multiple myeloma include bone and joint, low back pain, skull, sternal rib tumor formation, characterized by bead-like nodules at the junction of thoracic ribs and clavicles, and osteolytic drill or rat bite round bone defects, pathological fractures, paraplegia, intercostal and sciatica.

    The doctor said that the immunity of myeloma patients is particularly weakened, and there are also anemia, kidney damage and many other injuries, he also said that I can consider supplementing the patient with elemental selenium, I myself am looking for it on the Internet and asking people, and now I know that the body Hengjian Selenium Weikang Tablets is the most brand in this regard, and now it is being supplemented, thank you!

    The incidence of multiple myeloma in China has remained high in recent years, and according to the results of survey data, many patients are often past the early stage when they find the signs of the disease. The doctor said that in the early stage of the disease, it is generally called globulinemia of unknown significance, that is, the examination found an abnormal M protein, but the patient did not have a series of obvious symptoms, such as bone disease, kidney disease, anemia and other symptoms, under the cover of this "mask", the disease is developing towards the discovery of myeloma.

    Myeloma Condition Investigation: What Test Results Indicate a Problem?

    The results of this survey are based on some common symptoms and characteristics of cases in multi-regional and multi-institutional institutions. Please judge for yourself based on your own situation or that of your relatives and friends, as follows: (Extraction).

    Are you over 40 years old?

    Do you have any inexplicable pain in your bones?

    Do you have proteinuria or foamy urine?

    Is there an increase in globulin?

    Do you have symptoms such as anemia or recurrent fractures?

    If all five of the above questions are met, then a high suspicion of multiple myeloma is required. At this time, you need to go to a regular hospital to do a comprehensive test, first of all, blood test, urine test, and identification of M protein.

    At this point, you need to ask a few questions:

    First, if the examination reveals an abnormal peak in M-protein, the likelihood of myeloma is greater, and the doctor's suspicion balance is already tilted in favor of myeloma.

    Second, if multiple myeloma is suspected, a blood test is required, and a fasting blood test is required to see if the globulin is elevated and whether there is anemia.

    Third, do a 24-hour urine test to see if the light chain in the 24-hour urine and the 24-hour urine protein are increased.

    Fourth, you can also supplement a protein electrophoresis test to see if there is any abnormal M protein.

    Taken together, these results are summarized into a single report, which is called the M protein assay. If this result is positive, multiple myeloma should be highly suspected, and the next direction of diagnosis will be clear, but it is also necessary to check whether there are other diseases.

    All in all, there are clear guidelines for the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. If you suspect the disease, go to the hospital for supplementary testing in time. Blood tests are important and are both early and initial diagnoses.

    Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant tumor with abnormal proliferation of plasma cells. The main feature is that malignant proliferative plasma cells (i.e., myeloma cells) infiltrate bone and soft tissues and produce abnormal immunoglobulins (M-proteins) and their polypeptide chains. The main clinical manifestations are bone pain, pathological fractures, anemia, hemorrhage, hypercalcemia, hyperviscosity syndrome, renal impairment and immune dysfunction.

    The disease is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. There is no name for multiple myeloma in traditional Chinese medicine

    The probability of multiple myeloma being misdiagnosed in the early stage is very large, many patients have symptoms of bone pain and fracture, which is easy to be misdiagnosed as orthopedic diseases, and patients with urine protein are easy to be misdiagnosed as kidney diseases, and further examination is required according to laboratory results to improve the diagnosis rate. Here are 7 points for diagnosis.

    60% have anemia, anemia can be the first sign of anemia, mostly normocytic, normochromic anemia, smear shows red blood cells into money strings.

    Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is markedly increased, often 100 mm hour.

    In advanced stages, pancytopenia and myeloma cells can be found to appear in large numbers in the blood, and more than 2,000 cases are called plasma cell leukemia.

    Dysglobulinemia, monoclonal elevated Ig (M protein) is common in 80% of patients with elevated IgG.

    Bone marrow hyperplasia is active, and cells are multiplied. A variable number of protoplasma cells, young plasma cells, and even multinucleated cells with peculiar morphologies can be seen.

    Serum urea nitrogen, creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, and serum calcium can be increased.

    X-rays typically show multiple, unobtrusive, and unusual, lytic lesions with round, well-edged holes. Sometimes visible.

    Myeloma has a high misdiagnosis rate and should be distinguished from chronic inflammation, typhoid fever, lupus erythematosus, reactive plasmacytosis (plasma cells less than 10, no morphological abnormalities) caused by cirrhosis metastatic carcinoma, benign monoclonal gammoglobulinemia (no skeletal changes), senile osteoporosis, and hyperthyroidism.

    If you don't believe that your friend has this disease, then you'd better take your friend to a regular hospital for another check-up, don't delay because of a mistake in the examination**Ah, this is the most important thing, because my previous cousin almost suffered a life because he found it late, but fortunately, he went to the hospital for a check-up when the condition was not the most serious, and then my cousin said that he had taken Chinese medicine for a long time and some other Chinese medicine **together** Of course, my cousin is now married and has been living a very healthy life So I advise you to bring your friends to take a good look.

    In general, benign is a tumor, and malignant is cancerous.

    But but... You suggest going to a few more big hospitals.
