  Patients may also have anemia or thrombocytopenia from marrow infiltration or more rarely from immune hemolysis. With the most sensitive techniques, a monoclonal serum immunoglobulin (M-component) can be identified in almost half the cases. [pleiad.umdnj.edu]

  Labs on presentation revealed anemia, thrombocytopenia, acute liver injury, and acute renal failure necessitating intermittent hemodialysis. [acgcasereports.gi.org]

  About 1 in 3 people with this type of lymphoma have chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Treating the infection with anti-viral drugs can often cause these lymphomas to go into remission. [cancer.org]
