Identification of Monoclonal Immunoglobulins by Immunofixation Electrophoresis - Some Questions

Abstract

In the series of 2413 paraproteins analyzed by immunoelectrophoresis during 30 years, doubled paraproteinemias were found 42 times, i.e. a frequence of 1.7%. In last two years we have found 202 paraproteins by means of immunofixation electrophoresis and within this group multiple paraproteinemias was found 21 times, i.e. a frequence of 10.4%.
