1.	Renal Insufficiency (Renal Failure) 02/01/2022 - "Due to its multifaceted clinical manifestations and complications, it draws attention to various medical specialties like neurology, nephrology, orthopedics, cardiology, etc. Renal failure (RF) is one of the most common and most serious complications of MM that can be caused either by excess immunoglobulins that are nephrotoxic or some other causes like hypercalcemia, infection, etc. In this review article, we have discussed the pathogenesis of RF in MM, described the different diagnostic tools to diagnose RF in MM, and explained different treatment modalities to treat RF in MM, including certain general measures (i.e., hydration, withholding any nephrotoxic agents), renal replacement therapy, serum free light chain (SFLC) removal by plasma exchange and high cut-off dialyzer (HCO-HD), chemotherapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and renal transplantation."
2.	Urologic Diseases (Urinary Tract Disease) 05/01/2015 - "Owing to improvements in catheters and embolic agents, renal artery embolization (RAE) is increasingly used to treat nephrological and urological disease. "
3.	Pain (Aches) 12/01/2006 - "Of the 50 drugs most frequently reported overall, three-quarters of them were accounted for by six therapeutic classes-pain relievers, cardiovascular-renal agents, respiratory tract drugs, central nervous system drugs (antianxiety agents and antidepressants), hormonal agents, and antimicrobials. "
4.	Liver Diseases (Liver Disease) 01/01/1999 - "In contrast with many other second-line agents, renal and liver disease do not necessarily preclude treatment, and there are few drug interactions likely to be of clinical relevance in dermatology. "
