摘要：

Multiple myeloma commonly presents with bone pain, pathological fractures, hypercalcemia, anemia, and acute kidney injury. Altered mental status due to multiple myeloma is generally attributed to uremia, hypercalcemia, and hyperviscosity. In this report, we present a rare case of altered mental status due to high serum ammonia levels in a patient with advanced multiple myeloma and with no liver dysfunction.
