Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer which is caused by malignant plasma cells that flourish in the bone marrow and generate large amounts of a particular protein which is typically a monoclonal paraprotein and part of immunoglobulins. Plasma cells are white blood cells that manufacture antibodies and are a vital part of the immune system. The malignant plasma cells multiply rapidly and crowd out the normal plasma cells and scrape away areas of bones and soft tissue masses.
They also impair the immune system and cause the bone to collapse. The special proteins produced in large amounts, thicken the blood and make it more viscous and these proteins also get deposited into organs and interfere with the function of the kidneys, nerves and immune system. In the early stages, there are hardly any symptoms but as the disease progresses then such symptoms as skin lesions, anemia, nerve damage, bleeding, bone tenderness and pain, weakness, fatigue, infections, spinal cord compression and kidney failure take place.
