FREE FOR MEMBERS!
Description:
The current available methods to detect M proteins include gel and capillary serum and urine protein electrophoresis (SPEP and UPEP), serum and urine immunofixation (sIFE and uIFE), immunosubstraction (ISUB) and mass spectrometry (MS). Despite an overall good performance on all laboratory procedures using current methodologies, mis- or false-diagnoses have been noticed, especially on cases with non-classic abnormal immunoglobulin profiles. This session will highlight the challenges of transition from traditional agarose gel to Capillary Electrophoresis, as well as cases with the challenging profiles and present solutions using multi-method approach address potential misdiagnosis.
Date: August 18, 2022
Time: 12pm – 1pm (ET)
Credits awarded per Session. See individual Sessions for further details.
