14. Kidney problems

Beyond the symptom of frequent urination, multiple myeloma harbors the potential to inflict severe kidney problems, including the risk of kidney failure. The disease's overproduction of lightchain proteins can clog the renal filtering system, leading to a cascade of complications. Early signs might be subtle, but as kidney function declines, symptoms like swelling, changes in urine output, and fatigue become more pronounced. Vigilant monitoring and early intervention are key to managing these kidney issues and preserving renal health.
