Abstract
We explored the association between bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) and disease presentation and outcome among 1574 AL patients. Three BMPC groups were formulated: <5% (n = 231, 15% of study population), 5–19% (n = 1045, 66%), and ≥20% (n = 298, 19%). Heart and renal involvement were more and less prevalent, respectively, with increasing BMPCs. Patients with ≥20% BMPCs had higher likelihood for classic myeloma phenotype with less skewed lambda...
