Overview
The protein electrophoresis test should be repeated annually, and if there is any concern for a rise in the level of monoclonal protein, then prompt referral to a haematologist is required. A bone marrow biopsy should be performed.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Protein Electrophoresis
The protein electrophoresis test should be repeated annually, and if there is any concern for a rise in the level of monoclonal protein, then prompt referral to a haematologist is required.[1][2]
Bone Marrow Biopsy
A bone marrow biopsy should be performed because a diagnosis of MGUS requires the presence of less than 10% clonal plasma cells.[1][2]
