Test presentation
Protein immunofixation is a well-established technique for typing any suspected monoclonal component on urine electrophoresis. It also allows the characterization of the proteinuria.
The HYDRAGEL URINE PROFIL(E) kit is used for proteinuria investigation by immunofixation on agarose gel in order to:
- Detect and type Bence Jones proteins (monoclonal kappa and/or lambda free light chains) or any other monoclonal full immunoglobulin.
- Type renal lesions (tubular, glomerular or mixed lesion).
- Quantify the monoclonal peak.
