WM Complications Conversation Quiz Survey

Question Title

1. What are the two main ways Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia can cause complications? (Required.)

Through infection and dehydration

Through cancer cell infiltration and IgM protein effects

Through diet and exercise changes

Through low blood pressure and vitamin deficiency

Question Title

2. What can lymphoplasmacytic cells do when they infiltrate the bone marrow? (Required.)

Improve normal antibody production

Increase oxygen delivery to tissues

Interfere with normal blood cell production

Prevent all infections

Question Title

3. Why can IgM protein cause problems in WM? (Required.)

It is large and sticky

It dissolves red blood cells immediately

It prevents the body from making any cells

It only affects the lungs

Question Title

4. Which symptom may be associated with hyperviscosity? (Required.)

Improved vision

Blurred vision or confusion

Increased appetite only

Stronger immune response

Question Title

5. What is plasmapheresis mainly used for? (Required.)

Permanently curing WM

Quickly reducing excess IgM in urgent situations

Replacing all cancer treatment

Increasing IgM levels

Question Title

6. What is one reason neuropathy can occur in WM? (Required.)

IgM may affect nerve coverings

The heart pumps too quickly

The skin produces too much vitamin D

The eyes become dehydrated

Question Title

7. What did the presenter emphasize about symptoms such as neuropathy, eye problems, or infections? (Required.)

They are always caused by WM

They should never be evaluated

They may be due to WM or another condition

They only occur after treatment ends

Question Title

8. Which bleeding symptom may occur when IgM interferes with clotting proteins? (Required.)

Gum bleeding or nosebleeds

Improved clotting after injury

Increased red blood cell production

Complete protection from bruising

Question Title

9. What can happen in cold-related disorders such as cryoglobulinemia or cold agglutinin disease? (Required.)

Symptoms may be triggered or worsened by cold exposure

IgM becomes inactive only in warm weather

Red blood cells always increase in number

Cold exposure cures the underlying WM

Question Title

10. In cold agglutinin disease, what may happen when antibodies attach to red blood cells in cold temperatures? (Required.)

Red blood cells become immune to damage

Red blood cells may be removed from circulation, causing anemia

Platelets become larger and stronger

Blood oxygen delivery always improves

Question Title

11. What is amyloidosis or tissue deposition in the context of WM? (Required.)

A temporary increase in appetite

A treatment that removes all cancer cells immediately

A process in which IgM or related proteins can build up in organs or tissues

A condition that affects only the skin and never internal organs

Question Title

12. Which organs or tissues may be affected by amyloidosis or IgM-related deposition? (Required.)

Kidneys, heart, nerves, bowel, or other tissues

Hair and fingernails only

The lungs only, with no other possible sites

None, because deposition does not affect body tissues
