Abstract

This guideline provides the recommendations of an expert panel for the clinical and laboratory evaluation of patients suspected of having a clinical condition that produces a monoclonal protein in serum or urine. The recommendations describe the clinical conditions in which a monoclonal protein should be sought, the optimal sequence of testing to diagnose and monitor these patients, and the most effective laboratory procedures.
