Immunochemical measurement of urinary free light chains and Bence Jones proteinuria

uFLC turbidimetric measurements cannot accurately differentiate negative samples from those containing trace BJP, lacking the sensitivity required for clinical use. UIFE has shown greater sensitivity compared to turbidimetry. In monitoring, the systematic overestimation in the quantification of BJP, aggravated in cases of reduced renal function or high TUP concentration, makes it challenging for clinicians to evaluate therapeutic efficacy since the decision thresholds outlined in clinical guidelines are based on densitometric measurements.

Abstract

uFLC turbidimetric measurements cannot accurately differentiate negative samples from those containing trace BJP, lacking the sensitivity required for clinical use. UIFE has shown greater sensitivity compared to turbidimetry. In monitoring, the systematic overestimation in the quantification of BJP, aggravated in cases of reduced renal function or high TUP concentration, makes it challenging for clinicians to evaluate therapeutic efficacy since the decision thresholds outlined in clinical guidelines are based on densitometric measurements.
