The outcome of idiopathic Bence Jones proteinuria.

Laboratory diagnosis of Bence Jones proteinuria in a patient with plasma cell leukemia.

Kappa Bence Jones proteinuria was found by immunoelectrophoretic techniques in a patient with plasma cell leukemia, who presented with no M-proteins either in serum or urine. However, a significant decrease in normal immunoglobulins was observed. On microscopic examination of kidney sections obtained a autopsy, protein casts were seen in the distal tubules. Bence Jones protein was not detected ...

Macroglobulinemia with Bence Jones Proteinuria: Comparison of Urinary Protein and L Chain of Serum Proteins.

Edelman and Gally (1) have recently shown that an individual's Bence Jones proteins are chemically and physically similar to the low molecular weight polypeptides (L chains) obtained by reductive cleavage of his myeloma proteins. Indeed, Putnam (2) has shown that peptide maps of the tryptic digests of oxidized Bence Jones proteins correspond to a portion of the peptide map of similarly treated ...

The Mechanism of Proteinuria

میلوم 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...
