What is Bence Jones Protein Test

Bence Jones Protein (BJ Protein) test is an essential diagnostic tool used to detect abnormal proteins in the urine. These proteins, also known as light chains, are produced by abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow, and their presence is often associated with various plasma cell disorders, most notably multiple myeloma, a type of bone marrow cancer.

In multiple myeloma and some other conditions, the plasma cells produce an excess of light chains, which are released into the blood and filtered out into the urine by the kidneys. These light chains are referred to as Bence Jones Proteins. The BJ Protein test for urine identifies the presence and quantity of these proteins in urine, providing a crucial step towards diagnosis and effective treatment of these conditions.
