Immunofixation Urine Test

The Immunofixation (IFE) Urine test detects and characterizes monoclonal proteins (free light chains/M-proteins) excreted in urine to evaluate plasma cell and lymphoproliferative disorders. It supports workup of light-chain disease, multiple myeloma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, and amyloidosis, and helps distinguish monoclonal from polyclonal free light chains seen with glomerular leak, infection, or inflammation.
