Paraproteinemic Neuropathies With Dr. Benjamin Becker

Paraproteinemic neuropathies can present with a wide range of clinical phenotypes and may signal an underlying hematologic disorder. In this episode, Dr. Benjamin Becker discusses a practical phenotype-based approach to evaluating neuropathy in patients with paraproteins, highlighting key diagnostic clues, laboratory testing, and important disorders such as anti-MAG neuropathy, POEMS syndrome, and amyloid neuropathy. Learn how to distinguish incidental monoclonal gammopathies from clinically meaningful causes of neuropathy and when additional evaluation is warranted.
