Search for: [Abstract = "n serum GDF15 concentrations and markers of glomerular filtration impairment and renal tubular damage were observed. GDF15 presented most frequent associations with other biomarkers. Serum levels of hepcidin 25 have been predictors of mortality in MM patients independently of kidney injury and HGB concentrations. Taking into consideration the above results, it seems reasonable to assay biomarkers of ferritic management in the MM population to predict development of anaemia, as well as to assess patients prognosis independently of concomitant complications of multiple myeloma. These markers may serve to be helping tools in earlier intervention, prevention implementation and pharmacotherapy. In turn they may prevent the development of such consequences as\: cardiovascular complications, cognitive deterioration or frequent hospitalizations associated with blood transfusions\; and very importantly increase patients quality of life. One must emphasis the necessity to continue studies concerning these markers in order to exclude the influence of other factors and to precisely assess the effectiveness in their use in MM."]
