Two common peak-integration protocols for the quantification of M-proteins in serum protein electrophoresis
Quantification of M-proteins plays an important role in diagnosing and managing patients with monoclonal gammopathies. This is traditionally performed by integrating abnormal monoclonal peaks in the electrophoretogram, using either a perpendicular drop (PD) or tangential skim (TS) method. In this article, we describe the advantages and disadvantages of the PD and TS integration methods and […]
