ABSTRACT
Background:
Robust preanalytical and analytical processes are critical for the detection of cryoproteins. There is significant variation in practice in the detection, analysis and reporting.Results:
A survey in 2018 of 137 laboratories participating in the UK National External Quality Assessment Service (UK NEQAS) (6) quality control program showed significant variation in the laboratory processes which highlighted the need for standardisation of the detection, analysis and reporting of cryoglobulins.Conclusion:
The first available EQA scheme aiming to harmonise practice for cryoprotein testing has been developed by UK NEQAS and laboratories should participate in an appropriate EQA scheme to fulfil requirements for ISO accreditation.Key words
