Test ID: EPU
Electrophoresis, Protein, Urine
Secondary ID 
A test code used for billing and in test definitions created prior to November 2011
82441
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring patients with monoclonal gammopathies
Urine 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 | Secondary ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PTU | 8261 | Protein, Total, U | Yes | Yes |
| PEU | 8244 | Protein Electrophoresis, U | No | Yes |
Reflex Tests Lists test(s) that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial test(s)
| Test ID | Secondary ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IFXU | 82025 | Immunofixation, U | No | No |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
If a discrete electrophoresis band is identified, the laboratory will evaluate the urine protein electrophoresis and, if necessary, perform immunofixation at an additional charge.
Special Instructions and Forms Describes specimen collection and preparation information, test algorithms, and other information pertinent to test. Also includes pertinent information and consent forms to be used when requesting a particular test
