| Title | PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS, URINE RANDOM |
| Specimen Requirement | <p>Random urine submitted in sterile urine screw-capped urine container.</p> |
| Methodology | |
| Stability | Refrigerated 7 days |

| Turnaround | 24 hours |
| Clinical Use | <p>Evaluate myeloma, macroglobulinemia of Waldenström, lymphoma, amyloidosis; differentiate between normal renal function, glomerular proteinuria, and tubular proteinuria. Increased glomerular permeability leads to higher concentrations of large proteins in the glomerular filtrate. Diminished tubular reabsorptive capacity results in a marked increase in urinary excretion of low molecular weight problems.</p> |
