title: Elevated plasma beta-thromboglobulin levels in multiple myeloma and in polycythaemia vera.
abstract: Plasma beta-thromboglobulin levels were determined in 22 multiple myeloma patients, in 15 patients with polycythaemia vera and in 70 healthy controls. In both multiple myeloma and polycythaemia vera significantly increased plasma concentrations of this platelet-specific protein were found.
