Dr. Justin Willer interviews Dr. Divisha Raheja about her Muscle and Nerve article on paraproteinemic neuropathies. When the neuropathy is the presenting feature, neuromuscular specialists can play a particularly important role, possibly uncovering clinical, laboratory, radiologic, electrodiagnostic, or biopsy findings that lead to identification of the underlying paraproteinemia. Dr. Raheja offers suggestions on when testing should be done, elaborating on the various types of testing as well as treatments. Muscle Nerve. 2015 Jan;51:1-13. doi: 10.1002 mus.24471.
