“…Monoclonal gammopathies are quite a rare diagnosis in young people, we confirmed this fact in our study by finding only three monoclonal gammopathies in the group of donors under 40 years of age. This frequency (0.3%) correlates with results of other authors (3,4). However, the frequency observed in the group of donors over 40 years of age is not negligible because of the fact, that MGUS is considered precancerous today.…”

“…The prevalence of paraproteinemias is about 1% in people up to the age of 60 and about 10% in persons older than 80 years of age (10). We found only sporadic studies in the literature describing the occurrence of monoclonal gammopathies in a series of blood or plasma donors (3,4). In these studies -most of which are over 15 years old -immunoelectrophoresis is used for the identification of monoclonal immunoglobulin.…”

We carried out a retrospective analysis on a series of 1743 plasma donors during the period from January 1999 to February 2004 to determine the frequency of monoclonal gammopathies occurrence. In the whole group, we observed 0.68% occurence and in the subgroup of donors over 40 years of age even 1.18% occurrence of the serum paraprotein. We have presented our recommendations for the screening of monoclonal gammopathies in blood donors.
