Bence Jones proteins in urine are abnormal proteins that can indicate the presence and activity of certain diseases,<\/em> especially multiple myeloma. This analysis is part of the wide range of services provided by the private laboratory in Belgrade, IntroLab<\/a>, and is part of a comprehensive biochemical urine analysis.<\/p>\n

When are Bence Jones proteins in urine measured?<\/h2>\n

Indications for the analysis include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Suspicion of multiple myeloma:<\/strong> Bence Jones proteins are often present in patients with multiple myeloma, a malignant disease affecting plasma cells in the bone marrow. The analysis of Bence Jones proteins can help diagnose and monitor the activity of this cancer.<\/li>\n
  • In patients with already diagnosed multiple myeloma or other plasma cell disorders, this test is used to monitor the effectiveness of therapy and track disease progression.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Bence Jones proteins can affect the kidneys and cause damage. Therefore, their measurement in urine can be conducted in individuals suspected of having kidney diseases or nephrotic syndrome.<\/li>\n
  • Sometimes, the analysis of Bence Jones proteins may be recommended in case of suspicion of other hematological disorders, such as amyloidosis or Waldenstr\u00f6m’s macroglobulinemia.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Specifics of the test<\/h2>\n

    The test for Bence Jones proteins in urine has several specific features that make it useful and relevant for diagnosing certain conditions. These specifics include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Detection of monoclonal immunoglobulins:<\/strong> The test is aimed at detecting and quantifying monoclonal immunoglobulins (paraproteins) in urine. Paraproteins are abnormal proteins that may appear in patients with multiple myeloma or other plasma cell disorders.<\/li>\n
    • Diagnostic marker:<\/strong> The presence of Bence Jones proteins can be indicative of certain hematological diseases. The test is used as a diagnostic marker to identify and monitor these diseases.<\/li>\n
    • 24-hour urine sample:<\/strong> The test for Bence Jones proteins is usually performed on a 24-hour urine sample, meaning urine is collected over 24 hours to provide a comprehensive overview of the proteins present in the urine.<\/li>\n
    • Immunochemical methods:<\/strong> Urine analysis is performed using immunochemical methods, such as immunofixation or immunoelectrophoresis<\/em>. These methods use antibodies that recognize specific proteins and allow their identification and quantification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
