Recommandations de l’IFM (Intergroupe francophone du myélome) pour l’harmonisation de l’analyse des électrophorèses des protéines sériques et urinaires dans le diagnostic et le suivi du myélome multiple [IFM (Intergroupe francophone du myelome) recommendations for uniform interpretation of serum and urine protein electrophoresis in multiple myeloma diagnosis and follow-up]
Abstract
Serum and urine proteins electrophoresis take a major place in multiple myeloma management, at time of diagnosis, during follow-up for treatment response evaluation and also in detection of relapse. The Intergroupe francophone du myelome (IFM) suggests recommendations to clinicians and biologists, to perform and interpret these biochemical analysis, with the objective of harmonizing practices between laboratories and improving patients' follow-up.
