Bence Jones proteins in the urine are a tell-tale sign of MM. A person does not develop BJ proteins after diagnosis. My mom developed kidney failure as well. I was told it was because of the dye that was used to do the renal imaging.
Hi there,
Light Chain Myeloma can cause kidney dysfuction. It is a known side effect of this type of Myeloma. Bence Jones is the test in the urine, but I was not referring to original diagnoses. Bence Jones/Light Chain Lamda Chain Myeloma is the rarest of them all. And I have been told one of the most difficult to treat. I obtained booklets from myeloma.org from America and they have eased my mind..
Thankyou and take care
