2. Immunofixation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunofixation

   Pipetting anti-immunoglobulins to immunofixation panel. The panel simultaneously tests 4 patients (one in each quadrant). Each patient has 6 electrophoresis panels: The left one is a conventional serum protein electrophoresis. The remainder get solutions with anti-IgG, anti-IgA, anti-IgM, anti-kappa light chain and anti-lambda light chain ...

3. Serum free light-chain measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_free_light-chain...

   Serum free light-chain assays have been used in a number of published studies which have indicated superiority over the urine tests, particularly for patients producing low levels of monoclonal free light chains, as seen in nonsecretory multiple myeloma [21] [22] [23] and AL amyloidosis.

4. Multiple myeloma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_myeloma

   Being asymptomatic, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and smoldering multiple myeloma are typically diagnosed fortuitously by detecting a myeloma protein on serum protein electrophoresis tests done for other purposes. MGUS is a relatively stable condition afflicting 3% of people aged 50 and 5% of people aged 70; it progresses ...

5. Bence Jones protein - Wikipedia

   More recently, serum free light chain assays have been utilised in a number of published studies which have indicated superiority over the urine tests, particularly for patients producing low levels of monoclonal free light chains, as seen in nonsecretory multiple myeloma [5] [6] [7] and amyloid light chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis). [7] [8 ...

6. Serum protein electrophoresis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_protein_electrophoresis

   Serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP or SPE) is a laboratory test that examines specific proteins in the blood called globulins. [1] The most common indications for a serum protein electrophoresis test are to diagnose or monitor multiple myeloma , a monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (MGUS), or further investigate a discrepancy ...

7. Plasma cell dyscrasias - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cell_dyscrasias

   In hematology, plasma cell dyscrasias (also termed plasma cell disorders and plasma cell proliferative diseases) are a spectrum of progressively more severe monoclonal gammopathies in which a clone or multiple clones of pre-malignant or malignant plasma cells (sometimes in association with lymphoplasmacytoid cells or B lymphocytes) over-produce and secrete into the blood stream a myeloma ...
