Dear All,
We have an inpatient patient in her late 70's with an IgM paraprotein
>30g/L. The clinical staff are finding it difficult to analyse her
sample on the blood gas analysers due to rapid cryoprecipitation of the
sample, despite best efforts to maintain sample at body temperature and
analyse rapidly. Similarly we are unable to analyse samples in the
laboratory.
Any suggestions on how to overcome this would be most welcome. Please
could you email to me directly with your responses?
Thank you
Kind regards
Sukhi
