Polineuropatías y disglobulinemias

: We review the concept fo Monoclonal Gammopathy emphasizing that the so called benign forms, with or without polyneuropathy can have an unpredictable evolution. Polyneuropathies associated to monoclonal gammopathy-IgM, IgG, IgA, Waldestrom's disease, Multiple myeloma, Osteosclerotic myeloma (POEMS), Amyloidosis and Cryoglobulinemias are reviewed. They generally are solely sensory, sensorimotor or rarely, solely motor. The importance of neuro-physiological studies and nerve biopsy is emphasized. For progressive forms, treatment with plasmapheresis, immunotherapy, corticoids or intravenous gammaglobulin is suggested.
