A 32-year old female asked:

Urine protein electrophoresis 0.07/gL Normal or not? Suppose no protein in urine?

A 26-year old male asked:

I had a 24 hour Urine Protein Electrophoresis Test. My total Protein was 4 mg/ dL. UAlbumin 0.6, UAphla 1 0.5, UAlpha 2 0.6, UBeta, 0.7, and UGamma 1.7. No M spike observed. Are these normal ranges? Does this rule out Myeloma and Amyloidsis?

A 50-year old female asked:

Dr ran a protein electrophoresis test on me (both urine and blood). Kappa light chains slightly elevated/flagged in serum (21.5) but normal range in urine. No M spike observed and all other values normal. Chances of cancer small?

A 31-year old male asked:

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.
