Can You Get a Kidney Transplant with Multiple Myeloma?
Event Description
Myeloma patients with kidney disease are often in a precarious position in which both their kidneys and their myeloma need to be treated simultaneously.
In rare cases, myeloma patients' kidney function does not improve with myeloma treatment and a kidney transplant may be necessary. Attend the meeting to get answers to the following questions:
- Who truly needs a transplant?
- Is a transplant possible if the patient has active myeloma?
- How long will the patient need to stop active treatment if they have a kidney transplant?
- How are patients with kidney involvement monitored differently than those with "standard" myeloma?
We look forward to seeing you there and answering your questions!

Speakers & Moderators
Audrey joined the HealthTree Foundation as the Myeloma Community Program Director in 2020. While not knowing much about myeloma at the start, she has since worked hard to educate herself, empathize and learn from others' experiences. She loves this job. Audrey is passionate about serving others, loves learning, and enjoys a nice mug of hot chocolate no matter the weather.
I am a hematologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of plasma cell disorders, such as multiple myeloma and amyloidosis. These disorders are intricately intertwined with the immune system and my research focus on harnessing the power of the human body’s immune system to treat and cure cancer.
