Bence-Jones Protein Price in Bangladesh

What is Bence-Jones Protein?

Bence-Jones Protein is a type of protein found in the urine, typically produced by abnormal plasma cells. The Bence-Jones protein test is used to diagnose and monitor multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow.

Elevated levels of Bence-Jones proteins are indicative of light chain proteins that are produced in excess by plasma cells, a hallmark of this condition. The test is typically done using a urine sample and may also be used to monitor response to treatment.

The procedure is safe, with minimal risk, mainly mild discomfort from the urine collection.

What to expect & how to prepare

Bence-Jones Protein is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Bence-Jones Protein result rather than self-diagnosing.
