Abstract
Hyperviscosity syndrome (HVS) is a significant complication in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM), although the significance of plasmapheresis in clinical practice has not been clarified. To confirm the efficacy and safety of plasmapheresis followed by primary therapy for WM with HVS, we retrospectively conducted this study.
