Description of intervention(s) / exposure
To assess the effectiveness of high cut off haemodialysis (HCOD) daily for 8 hours until the serum free light chain level become below 500 mg/L, in addition to chemotherapy in light chain myltiple myeloma disease patients who present at the Launceston General Hospital (LGH) and treated conjointly by the the Haematology and Renal teams. The observation time is 12 months per patient following tretment.

Summary
Brief summary
Light chain myeloma commonly associated with renal failure. Therefore, it is important to preserve the renal function early by applying high cut off haemodialysis.
It is worthwhile to asses the effectiveness of the combination of high cut off haemodialysis (HCO-HD) in addition of chemotherapy
We are aiming to increase the awareness of this new treatment and also to document the results of the patients received this treatment in the last few years until end of next year.
