*Dx: Bone marrow biopsy showing >10% clonal plasma cells + end organ damage (CRAB) OR >60% clonal plasma cells without end organ damage. M-spike on SPEP (also shows up in smoldering myeloma). Bone scan shows punched out lesions. Hyperviscosity syndrome when there is monoclonal IgM, this leads to impaired platelet function and epistaxis/gingival bleeding (overall more common in Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia). β2 microglobulin is a prognostic marker.
