  1. adFLC difference in the involved to uninvolved free light chain.
  2. beGFR was calculated using the CKD-EPI formula, which incorporates age, sex, race, and serum creatinine26. Given our patient demographic, we assumed that all patients were non-African American.
  3. Bold values indicate statistical significance.
