What Is MGUS?
4. Complications
Only around 1% of people with MGUS will experience further complications. The rest will experience only the mild symptoms already mentioned, or none at all. When symptoms do arise, however, then they can be very serious indeed. For example, some patients with the condition can find that they are more likely to fracture their bones.
This is especially troublesome considering many people with the condition are going to be elderly. Potentially dangerous blood clots can also develop, while some patients with the condition can also go on to develop kidney disease. These symptoms can often be managed, but can be dangerous if they are not.
