Good evening doctors. is the immunofixation of the serum blood test which checks for monoclonal proteins the same as the urine test for amyloydosis which looks for light chain monoclonal?

Yes, serum and urine tests are used for detecting the same light chain. Take care.

Good evening doctors. With regard to urine assessment, are dipsticks valid and reliable enough to check blood and protein, or is it better to do urinanalysls?

Good evening doctors. Does immunofixation serum blood test with no monoclonal proteins found rule out multiple kidney myeloma? Is there a similar blood or urine test to rule out or rule in renal kidney amyloydosis?
Very good afternoon doctors. I had an immunofixation serum blood test which was normal with no monoclonal proteins found. I had proteinuria on the urinalysis. When should I repeat this immunofixation test?
Serum free light chain test shows normal kappa (8.7mg/dl), low lambda (3.80), high kap/lam ratio (2.31). Serum $ urine electrophoresis show no monoclonal protein, nor does serum immunofixation. Likely MGUS, myeloma, or admyloidosis? CBC/met panel ok.
Good evening doctors. I had an immunofixation blood test which was negative--no monoclonal proteins were found. Does this negative results completely rule out renal kidney multiple myeloma and or renal kidney amloydosis?
Good evening doctors. If immunofixation blood test results indicate no monoclonal proteins were found, does this rule out renal multiple myeloma? Does it rule out renal kidney amyloydosis?
