Proposed hematologic response parameters with associated renal response and survival rates in patients with an initial dFLC <50 mg/L

Data are shown as counts (percentages of evaluable n). See “Methods” for definition of aCR. Organ response criteria were applied according to Gertz et al and Palladini et al.8,19 

Low-dFLC PR, drop of dFLC to <10 mg/L if the initial dFLC was >20 mg/L (also counted in patients with aCR); No response, no aCR or low–dFLC PR, progress, start of second-line chemotherapy, or death.
