Dr Keren, a lead contributor to the recent 2022 evidenced-based CAP guideline for initial detection of M-proteins, prepared this text with an eye toward strategic recommendations for the laboratory application of all current diagnostic methods (SPE, IFE, ISUB, FLC and MASS-FIX) for detection and measurement of M-proteins. From basic protein structures through use on particular specimen types and disorders, the book is heavily illustrated throughout, and also includes useful case studies, making it practical guide for laboratory use.
