The present case suggests that in patients with [Beta]-migrating
Bence Jones proteins and evidence of renal tubular dysfunction, a confirmatory repeat UIFE may be warranted when serial
Bence Jones protein levels measured using UPEP with densitometric scanning appear inconsistent with clinical findings (ie, do not decrease with other signs of clinical improvement) or increase unexpectedly.
As a control, we used the urine from a myeloma patient with [kappa]
Bence Jones protein without cryo formation.
Guidelines for the analysis of
Bence Jones protein.
Bence Jones proteins and light chains of immunoglobulins.
Correlation of serum immunoglobulin free light chain quantitation with urine
Bence Jones protein in light chain myeloma [Technical Brief].
Urine
Bence Jones proteins was negative and serum electrophoresis pattern was normal in all subjects.
Also, urine should be sent for protein electrophoresis to look for
Bence Jones proteins.
In some cases myeloma cells secrete immunoglobulins that contain only the light chains, these are secreted in the urine and are known as
Bence Jones proteins (2).
