M-protein quantification is required for Classification: f.e. MGUS, smouldering myeloma (sMM) or multiple myeloma (MM) Staging of symptomatic myeloma (stage I, II and III) To monitor disease / therapy-response / or disease evolution (f.e. from MGUS > sMM > MM) Durie et al.

Theoretically yes, but they often go unnoticed…. Daratumumab in MM patients Adalimumab (α-TNF) in Rheumatoid Arthritis • SPE performed to monitor disease • SPE not commonly performed in RA • Dara dosed at high concentrations • Adalimumab dosed at lower concentrations (16 mg/kg i.v. weekly in first 8 weeks) (40 mg s.c. weekly or every 2 weeks) • Hypogamma globulinemia • Hypergamma globulinemia (caused by disease process and therapy) (caused by disease process) Low background: High background: easy to detect small bands difficult to detect small bands McCudden et al.
