Monitoring patients with monoclonal gammopathies
Profile Information A profile is a group of laboratory tests that are ordered and performed together under a single Mayo Test ID. Profile information lists the test performed, inclusive of the test fee, when a profile is ordered and includes reporting names and individual availability.
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| PTU | Protein, Total, U | Yes | Yes |
| PEU | Protein Electrophoresis, U | No | Yes |
Reflex Tests Lists tests that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial tests.
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |

| IFXU | Immunofixation, U | No | No |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
Urine protein electrophoresis alone is not considered an adequate screening for monoclonal gammopathies.
If a discrete electrophoresis band is identified, the laboratory will evaluate the urine protein electrophoresis and, if necessary, perform immunofixation at an additional charge.
