10 Early Signs of Multiple Myeloma That Most Ignore (Tricky To Catch)

6. Kidney Problems

Kidney problems can be linked to multiple myeloma. The cancer cells can produce substances that impair kidney function, leading to symptoms such as changes in urination patterns, blood in urine, or swelling in the legs. If you experience any issues related to kidney function, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional.

5. Anemia and Reduced Blood Cell Counts

Multiple myeloma can affect the production of red blood cells, leading to anemia. Anemia can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, and a pale complexion. Additionally, myeloma cells can crowd out healthy blood cells, reducing overall blood cell counts. Regular blood tests can help detect abnormalities in blood cell counts.
