Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma

 

At HPA Health Group, we specialize in diagnosing and treating complex conditions like multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting the bone marrow. It involves the excessive proliferation of plasma cells, disrupting the normal production of red and white blood cells and platelets, leading to various health issues.

Symptoms include bone pain (especially in the spine and ribs), fatigue (due to anaemia), recurrent infections (from weakened immunity), and kidney failure (caused by abnormal protein buildup).

Diagnosis is based on blood and urine tests, X-rays, and bone marrow biopsy. Treatment varies by severity and includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapies. Continuous monitoring and a multidisciplinary approach ensure symptom management and improved patient quality of life.
