Abstract | INTRODUCTION: CASE REPORT: The patient had HDL-C and LDL-C concentrations in the 0.63-0.71 mmol/l and 2.22-2.36 mmol/l ranges, respectively, as measured by a traditional semi-quantitative electrophoresis method. The observation of falsely low concentrations of LDL-C and artifactural undetectable HDL-C might result in the mismanagement of patients of multiple myeloma with monoclonal gammapathy, because the LDL-C and HDL-C concentrations are positive and negative risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.
