Categories: ,

The Urine Electrophoresis for M Protein test is used to detect abnormal monoclonal proteins (M proteins or paraproteins) in the urine. These proteins are produced by abnormal plasma cells and are commonly associated with multiple myeloma, Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia, and other plasma cell disorders.

Description

Why It’s Done:
This test helps in:
• Diagnosing and monitoring multiple myeloma
• Identifying Bence Jones proteins (free light chains of immunoglobulins)
• Assessing the severity and progression of monoclonal gammopathies

Sample Collection:
• 24-hour urine collection is typically required to ensure accurate detection and quantification of M proteins.
