Serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) is a clinical tool used to screen for monoclonal gammopathy, thus it is a critical tool in the evaluation of patients with multiple myeloma. However, SPEP ...

Audit of Use and Overuse of Serum Protein Immunofixation Electrophoresis and Serum Free Light Chain Assay in Tertiary Health Care. American Journal of Clinical Pathology , 2016; aqw026 DOI: 10. ...

Serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) did not reveal an M-protein. Serum and urine IEP demonstrated a monoclonal λ Bence Jones protein. A 24-hour urine specimen contained 6.7 g of protein, ...

The researchers also highlighted the utility of combining serum free light chain testing with serum protein electrophoresis to improve detection rates, as 1 in 5 patients will have light chains only.

Myeloma staging was reported using the Durie-Salmon clinical staging system. 6 The SPEP (serum protein electrophoresis) studies were ordered with regularity after diagnosis of PCM and in follow up ...

Serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation showed that the level of monoclonal IgG kappa was 2840 mg per deciliter. A diagnosis of MGUS was made on the basis of the unremarkable findings on ...

A doctor may also perform a serum protein electrophoresis test to analyze the various proteins in the blood, which can help detect cancerous conditions, including oral cancer.
