Electrophoresis of a concentrated urine specimen demonstrates no detectable protein.
Electrophoresis of a concentrated urine specimen demonstrates only a trace of albumin. No paraprotein is detected.
TRACE ALBUMIN AND OTHER PROTEINS
Electrophoresis of a concentrated urine specimen demonstrates a small amount of albumin and traces of several other proteins. No paraprotein is detected.
Electrophoresis of a concentrated urine specimen demonstrates a small amounts of albumin and transferrin and traces of several other proteins. No paraprotein is detected.
Electrophoresis of a concentrated urine specimen demonstrates many faint bands in the alpha regions. These could be microglobulins secondary to mild tubular proteinuria. There is no evidence of a paraprotein.
Electrophoresis of a concentrated urine specimen demonstrates large amounts of albumin, alpha-1 antitrypsin, transferrin, gamma globulin and many other proteins in lesser amounts. The examination also demonstrates many faint bands in the alpha-2 region. The pattern is consistent with mixed tubular and nonselective glomerular proteinuria. No paraprotein is identified.
Moderate Glomerular proteinuria
Electrophoresis of a concentrated urine specimen demonstrates albumin, transferrin, and traces of other proteins. The pattern is consistent with nonselective glomerular proteinuria. No paraprotein is identified.
Electrophoresis of a concentrated urine specimen demonstrates large amounts of albumin, alpha-1 antitrypsin, transferrin, gamma globulin and many other proteins in lesser amounts. The pattern is consistent with nonselective glomerular proteinuria. No paraprotein is identified.
Comparison of total protein to previous value.
The total protein in the urine for the 24 hour specimen is ___ mg compared to the previous value of ___ mg on dd/mm/yy.
Electrophoresis of a concentrated urine specimen demonstrates large amounts of albumin, alpha-1 antitrypsin, transferrin, gamma globulin and many other proteins in lesser amounts. The pattern is consistent with massive glomerular proteinuria of the nephrotic syndrome. There is no evidence of a paraprotein.
SELECTIVE VS NON-SELECTIVE PROTEINURIA
The percent of total protein that is gamma globulin is 6.3% This is close to the cutoff of 5% that signals selective versus nonselective glomerular proteinuria.
Electrophoresis of a concentrated urine specimen demonstrates the classic pattern of a Bence Jones protein or free light chains. There are two prominent bands in the beta region and a trace of albumin. The amount of paraprotein in this specimen is 45% * 157 mg/total protein = 71 mg paraprotein/total volume.
Electrophoresis of a concentrated urine specimen demonstrates albumin, gamma globulin and two bands in the alpha-2 region. These could be microglobulins secondary to tubular proteinuria or light chains. Immunofixation is in progress to distinguish these possibilities.
A distinct band is present in the slow gamma region that could be a paraprotein It measures ___% of the total urinary protein. Immunofixation is in progress to evaluate the suspect protein.
Electrophoresis of a concentrated urine specimen demonstrates a paraprotein in the mid gamma region and other proteins in a pattern of mild glomerular proteinuria . The paraprotein accounts for 45% * 157 mg/total protein = 71 mg paraprotein/total volume.
There is a prominent band in the alpha zone and a faint band in the beta zone that do not correspond to major serum proteins. Urine protein immunofixation is in progress to characterize these bands.
Electrophoresis of a concentrated 24 hour urine specimen demonstrates glomerular proteinuria of albumin, alpha-1 antitrypsin, transferrin and other minor bands along with the previously identified paraprotein in the mid gamma region.
Electrophoresis of a concentrated 24 hour urine specimen demonstrates mild glomerular proteinuria .
The amount of paraprotein in this specimen is __% * ___ mg/total protein=___ mg paraprotein/total volume. This is an increase decrease unchanged from the previous value of ___ mg/total volume on __/__/__.
To calculate the amount of paraprotein, enter the % protein in the specimen from the denistometer and the total protein. Mark these numbers and use the WORD calculator (apple=) to calculate the result.
Example:
90% * 1000 mg/total protein=
If apple = is pressed while this is marked, the number 900 will appear in the lower left corner of the screen.
