Other:
1) Hypercalcemia/bone lytic lesions/back pain: suck out ca from bone
2) Renal: excess light chain exceeds reabsorption ability of kidney, so light chains deposit in tissue and also cause light chains in the urine (Bence Jones; detected with SPEP); also, hypercalcemia damages kidney's ability to concentrate urine
3) Anemia: replacement of bone marrow with plasma cells, so less RBCs produced. Also renal failure leads to low EPO production
