Free Light Chains & Monoclonal Gammopathies
Impact on Diagnostic Panels
Urine Protein Electrophoresis & Immunofixation Electrophoresis
August 2008
The urine however, is a different story. Here we see a large M-spike on PEL and an intense monoclonal lambda band on IFE. It is because of these sorts of patients, that is, light chain monoclonal gammopathies that we have always recommended PEL & IFE on both serum and urine.
