Immunofixation Electrophoresis
Comments
none |
Describe all monoclonal Ig
proteins identified, i.e., heavy chain with
associated light; free light; free heavy).
|
IFP |
Polyclonal IgG, IgA and IgM,
with kappa and lambda light chains are present.
|
IF1 |
Minimally increased
Ig____is identified; monoclonality (uncertain;
unclear; cannot be excluded). We recommend repeat electrophoresis
and immunofixation electrophoresis in _ to _ months, if clinically
indicated.
|
IFO |
Multiple small prominent
bands are identified as Ig ____with attached kappa and lambda light
chains suggesting an oligoclonal pattern associated with active
hepatic inflammation and other conditions involving altered
immunoregulatory mechanisms . Monoclonality
(is unclear; cannot be excluded). We recommend repeat serum
immunofixation electrophoresis in 3 to 6
months for clarification, if clinically indicated.
Interpreter: If polyclonal
Igs are seen, optional to add “IFP” comment. |
