title: [Prognositic factors in multiple myeloma].
abstract: The article about the prognostic factors in multiple myeloma is reviewed. PS, albumin, sex, LDH, myeloma % in bone marrow, beta2MG, kappa > lambda, IgG>nonIgG, the serum concentration of IgG M protein, Hb, WBC, platelet, creatinine, calcium and CRP were reported as siginificant factors using univariate analysis in Japanese patients with myeloma. According to the result of multivariate analysis, two factors of albumin and beta2 MG have been adopted in the International Staging System in multiple myeloma (ISS). We can use the prognostic factor as a clue to the estimation of the clinical status and the prognosis in each case.
