Protein Electrophoresis in Clinical Diagnosis shows the changes in both techniques and interpretation of protein analysis , presenting a comprehensive review of serum protein techniques, immunofixation techniques, approaches to pattern interpretation, and pattern interpretation in both cerebral spinal fluid and urine. Conditions associated with Monoclunal Gammopathies are considered, as are the appropriate strategies for their detection. Features: * Unique presentation of all the latest information required in one volume * Includes every laboratory method required, semi-automated and automated methods, gel-based and capillary electrophoresis, immunosubtraction and immunofixation *Large practical format - for the workbench and office *Clear, concise structure for easy access to the relevant facts
