摘要
Background: Serum free light chain (FLC) analysis with ratio and urine immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) are both available for routine use in helping to detect plasma cell dyscrasia and related diseases. Cases: Case reports showing one serum positive for serum FLC but that showed a hook effect and overestimated the amount of monoclonal FLC while urine IFE was negative for Bence Jones protein, and a second serum that showed elevated FLC kappa and lambda but a normal kappa/lambda ratio, while urine IFE was positive for Bence Jones protein. Conclusions: These two techniques complement one another. Neither of the techniques is truly quantitative, and both exhibit methodological defects.
