Yes
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathies, when used in conjunction with urine monoclonal studies
Monitoring patients with monoclonal gammopathies
Protein electrophoresis alone is not considered an adequate screening for monoclonal gammopathies
Profile Information A profile is a group of laboratory tests that are ordered and performed together under a single Mayo Test ID. Profile information lists the test performed, inclusive of the test fee, when a profile is ordered and includes reporting names and individual availability.
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPE | Total Protein | Yes, (order TP) | Yes |
| ELP | Protein Electrophoresis | No | Yes |
| IMFX | Immunofixation | No | Yes |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
Includes total protein, serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP), heavy-chain typing, and light-chain typing (kappa and lambda).
