Unit Code 87997:
Monoclonal Protein Study, Expanded Panel, Serum
Useful For 
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathies
Eliminating the need for urine monoclonal studies
as a part of initial diagnostic studies (ie, ruling out monoclonal
gammopathy)
Assessing risk of progression from MGUS to MM
Profile Information A profile is a group of laboratory tests that are ordered and performed together under a single Unit Code. Profile information lists tests performed, inclusive of the test fee, when a profile is ordered and includes reporting names and individual availability.
