Zusammenfassung: | <jats:title>Summary</jats:title><jats:p>The diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">WM</jats:styled-content>) can be challenging given the variety of signs and symptoms patients can present. Furthermore, once the diagnosis of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">WM</jats:styled-content> is established, the initial evaluation should be thorough as well as appropriately directed. During the 8th International Workshop for <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">WM</jats:styled-content> in London, United Kingdom, a multi‐institutional task force was formed to develop consensus recommendations for the diagnosis and initial evaluation of patients with <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">WM</jats:styled-content>. In this document, we present the results of the deliberations that took place to address these issues. We provide recommendations for history‐taking and physical examination, laboratory studies, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy analysis and imaging studies. We also provide guidance on the initial evaluation of special situations, such as anaemia, hyperviscosity, neuropathy, Bing‐Neel syndrome and amyloidosis. We hope these recommendations serve as a practical guidance to clinicians taking care of patients with a suspected or an established diagnosis of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">WM</jats:styled-content>.</jats:p> |
