Have you done protein electrophoresis/immunoglobulin measurement on this patient? Some paraproteins behave like this on heating.
Happy New Year to all Clinical Chemists!

Dear all,
Happy Xmass and new year...
I hope every one had a nice break...
Here is some thing strange to me, we have patient
with high ALP, the Physician requested
ALP-ISO-enzymes. My analysis reveal that is mainly
bone origin.
But the strange thing is when I heated the serum to 65
oC, the serum become solidified. I increased the water
bath to boiling point still the serum stayed solid.
Then I cooled the sample down with ice, still no
change.
Any idea will be appreciated
Many thanks for your replays
