The goal of this review is to give you the most up-to-date information on POEMS syndrome. The authors conducted a literature search of available sources explaining POEMS syndrome, with a special focus on syndrome, and compared and evaluated significant findings. POEMS syndrome is linked to a category of illnesses known as monoclonal gammopathies or plasma cell dyscrasias, according to the findings of this study. These illnesses are defined by the uncontrolled proliferation of a single clone (monoclonal) of plasma cells, resulting in an abnormal buildup of M-proteins (also known as immunoglobulin) in the blood, which has a severe impact on the patients' and their families' quality of life. As a result, early and proper diagnosis and treatment are required to lessen or even eliminate the patient's symptoms and social burden1.

Abstract


The goal of this review is to give you the most up-to-date information on POEMS syndrome. The authors conducted a literature search of available sources explaining POEMS syndrome, with a special focus on syndrome, and compared and evaluated significant findings. POEMS syndrome is linked to a category of illnesses known as monoclonal gammopathies or plasma cell dyscrasias, according to the findings of this study. These illnesses are defined by the uncontrolled proliferation of a single clone (monoclonal) of plasma cells, resulting in an abnormal buildup of M-proteins (also known as immunoglobulin) in the blood, which has a severe impact on the patients' and their families' quality of life. As a result, early and proper diagnosis and treatment are required to lessen or even eliminate the patient's symptoms and social burden1.
