Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of albumin / fibrinogen ratio, blood viscosity and RDW on the prognosis of a newly diagnosed MM patients


Clinical Trial Description

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic neoplasm of plasma cells that arises in the bone marrow, manifest by bone pain, pathologic fractures, anemia, renal insufficiency and recurrent infections. Treatment options include chemotherapy (proteosome inhibitors), targeted therapy, autologous stem cell transplantation and supportive care. MM has numerous prognostic factors affecting patient outcomes, some of the most important prognostic factors include age, stage of disease, levels of certain proteins like Beta -2 microglobulin, albumin, chromosomal abnormalities and renal function tests. In addition to albumin / fibrinogen ratio, blood viscosity and hematologic indices which are mainly focused on through this research . The albumin / fibrinogen ratio has been recently studied as a potential prognostic factor for newly diagnosed MM patients, fibrinogen is the protein that plays a role in blood clotting, while albumin helps regulate fluid balance in the body. Studies show that a higher albumin/ fibrinogen ratio is associated with a better prognosis of MM, However, further studies is necessary to fully understand the impact of this ratio on MM prognosis. Blood viscosity is the measure of the thickness and stickiness of the blood, which can impact blood flow and oxygen delivery to vital organs. Newly diagnosed MM patients, higher whole blood viscosity is associated with a poorer prognosis and shorter survival times. increased viscosity may contribute to the development of blood clots and impaired circulation, leading to tissue damage and organ failure, However, further studies is needed to better understand the mechanism underlying this relationship and develop targeted interventions to improve outcomes. Several studies have shown that radial distribution width (RDW) can serve as a prognostic factor in the newly diagnosed MM patients. This index can provide important information about patients' immune response, inflammation and overall health status. A high RDW are associated with poor prognosis. However, further studies is necessary to fully understand the impact of these indices on MM prognosis. ;
