Workup for detection of Monoclonal Immunoglobulin
1. Find the circulating monoclonal Ig:
-SPEP & UPEP to quantify the Monoclonal (M) spike
-Serum & Urine Immunofixation to identify the monoclonal Ig & also to monitor response to Rx

2. Serum Free Light Chain Assay to identify free light chains & to monitor hematological response to Rx in Light Chain-associated kidney disorders
There are 2 different LC assays: Binding site & N-Latex assay
-Use same assay to follow LC levels

2/ Let’s start with a poll: which of the following disease states can cause MGRS (monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance):
3/ Before we get to the answer, let’s dissect the term MGRS:
Monoclonal Gammopathy:
⚡️Signifies the presence of a "monoclonal" immunoglobulin or its components
⚡️Seen as a spike in the "gamma" region on protein electrophoresis

1/9 Here is a tip that can save a life (yours?) in an emergency. When you call 911 they might not know where you are unless you tell them. I developed #FindMeSAR as a public service project to help solve this problem. #SearchAndRescue #EmergencyManagement
2/9 #FindMeSAR (findmesar.com) is a webpage that uses the GPS in your phone to display your coordinates and accuracy value. Several coordinate formats are supported and each one has a different colored screen.
3/9 The yellow screen displays your location in latitude longitude, decimal degrees. This format is used by all 911 call centers.
