Urine Electrophoresis
Comments
TAA |
A trace amount of albumin is
detected by electrophoresis. The level is __mg/dL(
mg/__), as measured by a sensitive chemical method for protein. Within
normal for urinary protein excretion.
Interpreter: Add,
“EPZ”
|
|
No proteins detected by
electrophoresis. A trace amount of (protein; albumin) was
measured at ____mg/dL (mg/__) by a (sensitive chemical; highly
sensitive immunochemical) method.
|
UPA |
Urine protein electrophoresis
shows albumin at a level of __mg/dL (__mg/_ ).
No globulin fractions are detected. The pattern and level are consistent
with a (mild,moderate,
severe) selective proteinuria.
Intepreter:
add, “EPZ”
|
UPA 1 |
(Mild; Moderate; Severe)
non-selective proteinuria (___mg/dL; ___mg/__)
consisting of albumin at a level of ____mg/dL
( ___mg/___) and globulins at mg/dL(
__mg/__).
Intepreter:
add, “EPZ” if no discrete band(s) are
detected. |
EP
|
We recommend serum and urine
(24 hour collection) immunofixation electrophoresis
(IFE) (IFE-U), if clinically indicated. |
EPI 1
|
We recommend urine (24 hour collection)
immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE-U) to rule out light chain disease,
if clinically indicated. |
EPI 2
|
We recommend urine (24 hour
collection) immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE-U), if clinically
indicated.
|
EPI 3
|
We recommend urine (24 hour
collection) electrophoresis (U-PEP), if
clinically indicated. |
EPO
|
See above
under “Gamma.”
|
IF
|
We recommend serum
immunofixation (IFE), if clinically
indicated.
|
FDB |
A (faint/large/other modifier)
discrete band (____g/dL [if serum]; ____mg/dL [if urine]) of
uncertain significance is detected within the ____ (and _____) zone (s).
We recommend (specimen type) immunofixation for clarification, if
clinically indicated. |
