Urine and Blood Tests Better at Diagnosing Myeloma

Screening and diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathies is generally based on electrophoretic examination of serum and urine proteins, namely serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP)/serum protein immunofixation electrophoresis (SIFE), urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP)/urine protein immunofixation electrophoresis (UIFE), and bone marrow examination.

Image: Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune disease and a potentially fatal disease in which the immune system attacks cells in the optic nerve and spinal cord. Aquaporin-4–immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) is the specific biomarker for NMO spectrum disorders and most accurately diagnosed using a cell-based blood test (Photo courtesy of Mayo Clinic Laboratories).

DNA Code Unraveled for Rare Neurologic Disease

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a potentially fatal disease in which the immune system attacks cells in the optic nerve and spinal cord, leaving some patients blind and/or paralyzed. More...
