Laboratory diagnosis of Bence Jones proteinuria in a patient with plasma cell leukemia.

Abstract:

:Kappa Bence Jones proteinuria was found by immunoelectrophoretic techniques in a patient with plasma cell leukemia, who presented with no M-proteins either in serum or urine. However, a significant decrease in normal immunoglobulins was observed. On microscopic examination of kidney sections obtained a autopsy, protein casts were seen in the distal tubules. Bence Jones protein was not detected by the conventional heat test.

  • Molar absorptivities of beta-NADH and beta-NAD at 260 nm.

    abstract::To determine the molar absorptivities of beta-NADH and beta-NAD at 260 nm, we purified the reduced form of the coenzyme by repeated anion-exchange chromatography. A NADH preparation was so obtained for which the 260 nm/340 nm absorbance ratio was 2.265. When calculated with epsilon 340 beta-NADH = 6.22 times 10-3 for ...

    abstract:BACKGROUND:5α-Reductase 2 deficiency (5ARD) is a known cause of 46,XY disorders of sex development (DSD). Traditionally, the diagnosis relies on dihydrotestosterone (DHT) measurement, but the results are often equivocal, potentially leading to misdiagnosis. We reviewed alternative approaches for diagnosis of 5ARD. MET...
