Abstract
Background and aim: Monoclonal gammopathies are plasma cell dyscrasias with production of homogeneous protein called paraprotein or M protein. As it can accompany many hematological malignancies, it can cause many complications in non-malignant conditions and may present with various clinical problems. Early diagnosis of patients with this entity is very important to guide clinicians in order to intervene before the disease progresses to a malignant picture. Although protein electrophoresis, which is a simple and inexpensive method, is the first step in the diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathies today, the gold standard for diagnosis is immunofixation electrophoresis.
Materials and methods: In our study, we retrospectively analyzed the results of protein electrophoresis and immunofixation electrophoresis of patients who applied to the central laboratory of our hospital with the suspicion of monoclonal gammopathy.
Result and Conclusion: We observed that immunofixation electrophoresis has higher sensitivity than protein electrophoresis. In this context, we concluded that it may be beneficial to use immunofixation electrophoresis and protein electrophoresis data together with some additional tests for further diagnosis.

Abstract
Giriş ve amaç: Monoklonal gamopatiler, paraprotein veya M proteini adı verilen homojen protein üretimi ile plazma hücre diskrazileridir. Birçok hematolojik maligniteye eşlik edebildiği gibi malign olmayan durumlarda da birçok komplikasyona neden olabilmekte ve çeşitli klinik problemlerle karşımıza çıkabilmektedir. Bu antiteye sahip hastalarda erken teşhis, hastalık malign bir tabloya ilerlemeden müdahale edebilmek için klinisyenlere rehberlik etmesi açısından çok önemlidir. Günümüzde monoklonal gamopatilerin tanısında basit ve ucuz bir yöntem olan protein elektroforezi ilk adım olsa da tanı için altın standart immünfiksasyon elektroforezidir.
Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmamızda monoklonal gamopati şüphesi ile hastanemiz merkez laboratuvarına başvuran hastaların protein elektroforezi ve immunofiksasyon elektroforezi sonuçlarını retrospektif olarak inceledik.
Bulgular ve Sonuç: İmmünfiksasyon elektroforezinin protein elektroforezinden daha yüksek duyarlılığa sahip olduğunu gözlemledik. Bu bağlamda immünfiksasyon elektroforezi ve protein elektroforezi verilerinin bazı ek testler ile birlikte kullanılmasının ileri tanı için faydalı olabileceği kanaatine vardık.
