[Platelets haemostatic in patients with multiple myeloma]

Abstract

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of disseminated cancer which derive plasma cells that are immune system cells in bone marrow and produce monoclonal protein. It represents approximately 1% of all cancers, but recent statistics indicate both increasing incidence and earlier age of onset. Haemostatic disorders are an important clinical problem in patients with MM. The most common disturbances symptoms are bleeding and deep-vein thrombosis can due to platelet dysfunction, inhibition of fibrin and increased clearance of coagulation factors connected with monoclonal protein presence. The aim of study is a presentation of disturbances haemostatic in patients with MM, which make up important clinical and diagnostic problems.
