Good question, @teedlum. Typically, follow up visits include physical exam, review of symptoms, as well as blood work and urinalysis to monitor changes.

I'm tagging @neskue3712 @anng53 @gingerw @mascot @pmm @circawdm @deborahjb and other MGUS members to weigh in with their follow up routines and when/if bone marrow tests are done.

Physical exam, full MGUS blood, and urine workup, and only a BMB if things have gotten high enough to worry the doctor of much progression or of another problem. Every 4-6 months. Sooner if I have any CRAB symptoms or severe fatigue, breathlessness bone pain, urinary problems, or kidney/flank pain.
