Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of regional citrate anticoagulation continuous renal replacement therapy (RCA-CRRT) in reducing blood calcium levels in three patients with hypercalcemia crisis caused by different etiologies. The sodium citrate chelation of calcium ions was utilized as an anticoagulant for treating severely affected patients. By adjusting the citrate anticoagulant dose and monitoring treatment indicators, RCA-CRRT parameters were actively modified to alleviate the hypercalcemia crisis and provide time for surgery or specialized treatment. Two patients experienced rapid and effective reductions in blood calcium levels, allowing for further treatment, while the third patient exhibited a repeated increase in blood calcium, which eventually decreased after parathyroid adenoma resection, leading to clinical discharge. Our findings suggest that RCA-CRRT can help alleviate hypercalcemia crisis, stabilize the patient's internal environment, and provide valuable time for clinical treatment in cases of various medical conditions causing abnormal blood calcium elevations.

Abstract
Overall outcomes for multiple myeloma have improved due to the availability of new therapies, but patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma harbouring certain factors continue to pose a therapeutic challenge. These challenging features include high-risk cytogenetics, renal impairment, patient characteristics such as age and frailty, and extramedullary disease. Prior refractory status and number of prior lines add further complexity to the treatment of these patients. While newer regimens are available and have suggested efficacy in these patient populations through subgroup analyses, differences in trial definitions and cut-offs make meaningful comparisons difficult. This review aims to examine the available clinical trial data for patients with high-risk cytogenetics, renal impairment, age and frailty and extramedullary disease.

An overview of treatment options for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma and renal impairment. Ther Adv Hematol 2022; 13:20406207221088458.

Abstract
Renal impairment (RI) is a relatively common complication of multiple myeloma, which increases in frequency as disease becomes more advanced and recovery of renal function becomes less likely as patients progress through lines of therapy. Clinical trials in the relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) setting have not uniformly included patients with RI or robustly reported their outcomes. Here, we review existing data among patients with RI and RRMM across drug classes (including immunomodulatory agents, proteasome inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies, and exportin-1 inhibitor) to provide an improved understanding of available treatment options for this important population. We highlight data from pivotal clinical trials, including data relating to renal response (as defined by the International Myeloma Working Group) and discuss real-world experiences in patients with RI, where applicable. Despite substantial advances in RRMM treatment, the presence of RI remains associated with reduced overall survival. Consistent inclusion of patients with RI, and uniform reporting of their outcomes, should be encouraged in future prospective trials of treatments for RRMM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The success of immunotherapy highlights a possible role for immunity in controlling cancer during remission for patients with cancer in the general population. A prior cancer diagnosis is common among solid organ transplant candidates, and immunosuppressive medications administered to transplant recipients may increase recurrence risk. METHODS Using linked data from the United States solid organ transplant registry and 13 cancer registries, we compared overall and cancer-specific survival among patients with cancer who did versus did not receive subsequent transplantation. We used Cox regression in cohort and matched analyses, controlling for demographic factors, cancer stage, and time since cancer diagnosis. RESULTS The study included 10,524,326 patients with cancer, with 17 cancer types; 5,425 (0.05%) subsequently underwent solid organ transplantation. The median time from cancer diagnosis to transplantation was 5.7 years. Transplantation was associated with reduced overall survival for most cancers, especially cervical, testicular, and thyroid cancers [adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) for overall mortality, 3.43-4.88]. In contrast, transplantation was not associated with decreased cancer-specific survival for any cancer site, and we observed inverse associations for patients with breast cancer (aHRs for cancer-specific mortality, 0.65-0.67), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (0.50-0.51), and myeloma (0.39-0.42). CONCLUSIONS Among U.S. patients with cancer, subsequent organ transplantation was associated with reduced overall survival, likely due to end-stage organ disease and transplant-related complications. However, we did not observe adverse associations with cancer-specific survival, partly reflecting careful candidate selection. IMPACT These results do not demonstrate a detrimental effect of immunosuppression on cancer-specific survival and support current management strategies for transplant candidates with previous cancer diagnoses.

J Clin Lab Anal 2020; 34:e23416.

Abstract
Background Renal impairment (RI) is associated with poor survival in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Renal function recovery has been one of the main therapeutic goals in those patients. Methods The records from 393 newly diagnosed MM patients in our hospital between January 2012 and December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. RI was defined as an eGFR < 40 mL/min according to the novel IMWG criteria. RI patients were categorized based on their renal function at diagnosis: severe RI: eGFR < 30 mL/min, and mild RI: 30 mL/min ≤ eGFR <40 mL/min. We explored whether RI, and particularly severe RI, was an adverse prognostic factor for survival, and investigated the impact of renal function recovery on survival. Results Severe RI, hemoglobin <100 g/L, LDH ≥ 245 U/L, hyperuricemia, 1q21 amplification, and lack of novel agent treatment were associated with decreased overall survival (OS). Severe RI patients with renal response had a median OS of 27 months compared with 18 months for those patients without renal response (P = .030), but their median OS was still significantly lower than that for patients without severe RI, which was 51 months. In severe RI patients, the overall renal response rate in bortezomib‐based regimens was significantly higher than that in nonbortezomib‐based regimens. Conclusion Our results suggest that severe RI is an adverse prognostic factor for survival in newly diagnosed MM patients, restoration of renal function may improve survival, and bortezomib‐based regimens may be the preferred treatment in patients with severe RI.

Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Multiple Myeloma with Renal Failure: Friend or Foe? Stem Cells Int 2019; 2019:9401717.

Abstract
Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a standard treatment for multiple myeloma (MM), but the clinical response and renal curative effect in MM patients with renal failure (RF) remain controversial. The myeloma kidney disease has different types, and most are due to the direct toxic effects of light chain. Although ASCT can effectively clear the light chain, the data of renal function improvement are still limited. We reviewed the published literatures, focusing on the prospective studies, the retrospective analysis studies, and the case reports. RF patients who received ASCT displayed a low survival rate (OS: HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.020 to 3.720; I2 = 64.9%, P = 0.014) and a shorter EFS/PFS (EFS/PFS: HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.090 to 2.140; I2 = 0%, P = 0.669). However, ASCT was feasible and could have the similar clinical response outcomes compared with the normal renal function (CR: OR 1.013, 95% CI 0.569 to 1.804; I2 = 48.5%, P = 0.101; PR: OR 1.013, 95% CI 0.342 to 1.226; I2 = 46.3%, P = 0.144). Moreover, MM with RF after ASCT had a good improvement of renal function and melphalan is still an important factor affecting the treatment of ASCT.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell disorder that represents almost 10% of haematologic malignancies. Renal impairment, one of the most common complications of MM that occurs in 20–50% of patients, can present in a variety of forms and is associated with increased mortality. Myeloma cast nephropathy is the most common cause of kidney disease in MM patients, presenting as acute kidney injury in the majority of patients. The recent introduction of new chemotherapy agents, autologous stem cell transplantation, and the development of novel techniques of light chain removal have been associated with improved renal and patient outcomes in MM patients. Nevertheless, dialysis-dependent patients with MM have higher mortality than other dialysis patients and may be considered for kidney transplantation only if sustained remission has been achieved and sustained for at least 3 years, bearing in mind the risk of disease recurrence.
The authors review the most frequent renal manifestations associated with MM, namely myeloma cast nephropathy, light-chain amyloidosis, and monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease, focussing on the therapeutic options for acute and chronic kidney disease.
