Quantitation of urinary protein excretion is important for diagnostic and prognostic purposes and to achieve the best treatment. The method most commonly used to measure urinary protein in 24 hour urine samples, are time consuming and often inaccurate. This study performed on 101 persons. Urine samples were collected three times aday. The protein/creatinine ratio(mg:mg) was measured and c...
متن کاملSerum Free Light-chain Assay for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prognosis of Multiple Myeloma
In recent decades, new serum biomarkers have been developed for routine laboratory practice, such as assaying serum free light chains and more recently, assaying immunoglobulin heavy and light chain isotypes (Hevylite). In this work, we highlight the interest of new biomarkers (Hevylite Test) in the management of monoclonal gammopathies because of the technical advantages it confers and the se...
متن کاملMultiple myeloma can be accurately diagnosed in acute kidney injury patients using a rapid serum free light chain test
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Whether serum free light chain (sFLC) measurements can distinguish between myeloma and other causes of AKI requires confirmation to guide early treatment. A rapid and portable sFLC test (Seralite®) is newly available and could reduce delays in obtaining sFLC results and accelerate diagnosis in patients with u...
متن کاملQuantification of Proteinuria with Urinary Protein to Osmolality Ratios in Children
Background: The ratio of urine protein to urine osmolality has recently been suggested as an accurate method to determine proteinuria. Objective: We studied the correlation of urine protein to urine osmolality ratio with 24-hr urinary protein excretion. Methods: 150 children aged 0.11–17 years admitted to the Department of Pediatric Nephrology were included in this study. Early morning urine s...
متن کاملEvaluation of rapid diagnostic methods of urinary protein estimation in patients of preeclampsia of advanced gestational age.
BACKGROUND 24-h urine protein is traditionally used as a gold standard method for protein estimation. Because of the operational difficulty, there is the necessity to use rapid, convenient, and reliable method of proteinuria estimation. AIM We carried out this study to compare the two rapid methods of protein estimation: dipstick method and spot urine protein creatinine ratio (UPCR) with that...
