Agarose Gel Serum Electrophoresis is a simple, rapid and sensitive technique routinely used for diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma. Its effectiveness as a screening tool for detecting infraclinical cases of Multiple Myeloma is brought out in this study. 29 out of the 219 patients presenting with unexplained osteoporosis and pain are found to be positive for M proteins. These patients were earlier adjudged organic disease free after preliminary investigation and examination.
