ALB and Miyoshi myopathy: Similarly, the proportion (%) of intermediate monocytes in newly diagnosed untreated MM patients correlated negatively with serum albumin level (R2 = 0.649, p < 0.0001) and correlated positively with the serum levels of creatinine (R2 = 0.222, p = 0.002), LDH (R2 = 0.338, p < 0.0001), calcium (R2 = 0.398, p < 0.0001), and with the percentage of bone marrow plasma cells (R2 = 0.301, p = 0.016), while urea, total protein, and M-protein did not show significant correlation (Figure 4).
