Methods: an observational, descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was conducted. The target group included 31 patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma; the sample comprised 25 patients by simple random sample.
Results: a prevalence of the disease was observed in male patients and in the age group from 70-79 years old. The main comorbidities and complications presented by patients with multiple myeloma were anemia in all of them, and kidney failure.
