Urinary week protein

This week's protein is a light chain single or dimer of immunoglobulin, which belongs to incomplete antibody globulin, and can be excreted from urine when the concentration in plasma is abnormally high. The presence of this protein in urine reflects the light chain portion of malignant plasma cells that produce a large number of clonal immunoglobulins. This week the protein coagulates at 40 to 60 degrees Celsius, and then dissolves near 100 degrees Celsius, so it is also called coagulated protein.
