Paraprotein interference with colorimetry of phosphate in serum of some patients with multiple myeloma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In untreated serum of three patients with multiple myeloma, concentrations of inorganic phosphate ranged from 130 to 270 mg/L as measured with a chromogenic assay based on the interaction of phosphate ion with ammonium molybdate in the presence of ferrous sulfate. There were no clinical features of hyperphosphatemia, and values for total calcium concentration in serum remained within normal limits throughout. Subsequent investigations demonstrated that this hyperphosphatemia was spurious and was caused by high concentrations of the paraprotein interfering with the chromogenic assay. Because this type of assay, adapted for automated systems, is now widely used in clinical laboratories, we call attention to this limitation to avoid confusion in clinical evaluations of patients with multiple myeloma.

متن کاملمیلوم IgD
IgD myeloma is very rate. It differs from multiple myeloma of other classes in several aspects and its laboratory diagnosis may be difficult, as total plasma protein concentration is often normal, and a paraprotein peak may not be easily demonstrable by the conventional electrophoretic techniques. We report here two cases of IgD myeloma investigated in this laboratory. Immunochemical, biochemic...
متن کاملParaprotein-related Bleeding as a First Symptom of Multiple Myeloma
Specific affinity characteristics of the neoplastic paraprotein have been established as exceptional causes of bleeding in patients with malignant gammopathies. We describe a case in which a relationship between impaired coagulation parameters and the concentration of serum paraprotein, without specific affinity for any coagulation protein, could be established. Alternative causes of bleeding w...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Potential Protein Biomarkers Extracted with 10% TCA from Blood Serum of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma Patients
Blood serum has been extensively explored as a source of the bio-markers [1, 2]. For concentration of minor protein(s) and depletion of abundant blood serum proteins a 2,2,2-trichloroacetic acid (TCA) precipitation procedure is frequently applied [3]. However, a significant amount of proteins may be present in the TCA extracts, and these proteins are often not studied.Recently, we have sh...
متن کاملElimination of paraprotein interference in determination of plasma inorganic phosphate by ammonium molybdate method.
Phosphate concentrations were determined in 52 cases of paraproteinemia. The unmodified acidic ammonium molybdate method produced 19% spuriously high results. The false increase of phosphate concentration was attributable to formation of precipitate in the reaction mixture. The precipitate was formed by interaction between immunoglobulins and the unmodified acidic ammonium molybdate reagent. Th...
