Q

ESSAY

Write down the causes and characteristics of various gammopathies!

A

Monoclonal gammopathy: this happens due to immune-mediated processes or neoplastic
conditions. It is when one protein fraction is coming from one clone.
• This has a peak as narrow as albumin
• Can be produced from both neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders.

Polyclonal gammopathy: this is coming from inflammatory processes and also immune mediated
diseases. This is when gamma and beta globulins are deriving from different clones.
Can be derived from
• liver diseases
• Heart worm
• Lymphoma
• FIP
• Ehrlichiosis
Generally coming from disorders in IgA and IgM
