Overview
Patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia should have nerve conduction study, antimyelin associated glycoprotein serology done.[1], and fundoscopy[2] done.
Key Findings in Nerve conduction study
- Patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia show demyelination with sensory involvement more than motor.[1]
Key Findings in Serology
- Waldenström's macroglobulinemia shows antimyelin associated glycoprotein.[1]
Key Findings in Fundoscopy
- Waldenström's macroglobulinemia may show enlarged veins in the retina.[2]
