Overview
Other diagnostic studies that can help in making the diagnosis of POEMS syndrome include nerve conduction study, electromyography, fundoscopy, serum plasma electrophoresis and immunofixation electrophoresis, laboratory evaluation for endocrinopathies, visual field testing, fluorescein angiography, bone marrow biopsy, and pulmonary function test.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Given below are the other diagnostic studies with their corresponding findings in POEMS syndrome:
Electromyography and Nerve Conduction Study
- Reduced compound muscle action potential (CMAP)[1][2][3]
- Reduced motor conduction velocity (MCV) (normal mean value: 50-60 meters/second)[1][2][3]
- Significantly higher terminal latency index (TLI)[1][2][3]
Serum Plasma Electrophoresis and Immunofixation Electrophoresis
- IgG-λ and IgA-κ biclonal gammopathy[9][10]
- Increased serum free light chain κ and λ values[9]
- Higher than normal κ/λ ratio[9]
Visual Field Testing
- Field defects[11]
Fluorescein Angiography
- May reveal pooling of fluid consistent with cystoid macular edema[11][12]
Fundoscopy
- Optic disc swelling[12]
- Optic disc hemorrhages[12]
- Serous macular detachments[12]
Laboratory Evaluation for Endocrinopathies
- Decreased testosterone level[8][4]
- Decreased LH, and estradiol levels[13]
- High or low FSH level[14]
- Elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level[4]
- Decreased cortisol level[15][16]
- Elevated prolactin level[17]
- Elevated fasting blood glucose level[18][17][19]
Complete Blood Count Bone Marrow Biopsy
- Increased number of plasma cells[20]
Pulmonary Function Test
