| Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia | <haematology> A condition characterised by proliferation of cells resembling lymphocytes or plasma cells in the bone marrow, anaemia, increased sedimentation rate and hyperglobulinaemia.

| Waldenstrom's test | A test for porphyrin in the urine; 2 ml of urine are mixed with an equal amount of 2% dimethyl-p-aminobenzaldehyde in 50/100 HCl. A red colour appears if urobilinogen (Ehrlich's benzaldehyde reaction) or porphobilinogen is present. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia |
A rare cancer of the lymph cells that causes the body to produce abnormal levels of plasma cells (plasmacytosis) and lymphocytes (lymphocytosis) in the bone marrow. Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia may also cause a decrease in the number of red blood cells (anemia) and enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly), spleen (splenomegaly), or glands (adenopathy).

| Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia |
This is a rare malignant condition, involving an excess of beta-lymphocytes (a type of cell in the immune system) which secrete immunoglobulins (a type of antibody). WM usually occurs in people over sixty, but has been detected in younger adults.

| Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia |
This is a rare, chronic cancer that affects white blood cells called B lymphocytes, or B cells. These cells form in the lymph nodes and the bone marrow, the soft, spongy tissue inside bones, and are an important part of the body's immune (defense) system. Some B cells become plasma cells, which make, store, and release antibodies. Antibodies help the body fight viruses, bacteria, and other foreign substances. In Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, abnormal B cells multiply out of control. ...
