Overview

There are no echocardiography and ultrasound findings associated with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.

Echocardiography/Ultrasound Findings in Waldenström Macroglobulinemia

There are no echocardiography and ultrasound findings associated with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. However, ultrasound of the spleen is more accurate at quantitation compared to physical examination findings alone. Ultrasound can be used to look at lymph nodes near body surface or to look for enlarged abdominal lymph nodes or organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys. (It can’t be used to look at organs or lymph nodes in the chest because the ribs block the sound waves.) It is sometimes used to help guide a biopsy needle into an enlarged lymph node.
