What is Detection of Monoclonal Plasma Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Patients with Primary Amyloidosis about?
We evaluated the blood from 150 patients with primary AL‐amyloidosis for circulating monoclonal plasma cells using a sensitive slide‐based immunofluorescence technique. The percentage of monoclonal blood plasma cells (BPC) that were in S‐phase was determined by the bromodeoxyuridine labelling index (BLI). Monoclonal BPC were detected in 16% (24/150) of patients. The median number of monoclonal BPC was 1 × 10^6^/l and 4.6% (7/150) of patients had a high number. The BLI was zero in all but three patients. This study demonstrates that monoclonal plasma cells circulate in the peripheral blood of patients with AL‐amyloidosis.
