Overview
Patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia should have nerve conduction study, antimyelin associated glycoprotein serology[1], and fundoscopy done.[2]
Key Findings in Nerve Conduction Study
- Patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia show demyelination with sensory involvement more than motor.[3]
Key Findings in Serology
- Waldenström's macroglobulinemia shows antimyelin associated glycoprotein.[4]
Key Findings in Fundoscopy
- Waldenström's macroglobulinemia may show enlarged veins in the retina.[2]
