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
