Paraproteinemias and Monoclonal Gammopathies: A Practical Laboratory Approach

Paraproteinemias and Monoclonal Gammopathies: A Practical Laboratory Approach

The Online Meeting was delivered by Dr. Gustavo Loureiro, a clinical pathologist with a PhD from UNIFESP, who works in specialized biochemistry at Grupo Fleury and has extensive experience in monoclonal gammopathies, electrophoresis, immunofixation, and specialized medical consulting.

The lecture covered the concepts and physiology of paraproteinemias and monoclonal gammopathies, including immunoglobulins and the main clinical entities, as well as laboratory tests such as serum and urine electrophoresis and immunofixation, free light chains, and Bence-Jones proteinuria.

It also presented the practical interpretation of laboratory findings, considering sensitivity, methodological limitations, and current guidelines.

With up-to-date content, the training helped participants choose appropriate tests, interpret results in an integrated manner, recognize the limitations of the methods, and communicate clinically in suspected or confirmed cases of monoclonal gammopathies.

PEP 0003

Proficiency Test Provider

Accredited by Coordenação-Geral de Acreditação do Inmetro

In September 2011, Controllab was accredited by Cgcre as a proficiency test provider, under nº PEP0003. Initially as part of a pilot project by Inmetro, this accreditation was based on ILAC G13: 2007 and included several clinical and hemotherapy tests. In the periodic evaluations of this accreditation, new segments and tests are included and the evaluation is now conducted according to ABNT NBR ISO/IEC 17043.

This accreditation attests to Controllab’s technical competence to develop and conduct proficiency tests in accordance with international requirements and enables it to be recognized in other countries, in accordance with mutual recognition agreements signed by Brazil in Mercosur, the Americas and Europe.
