SPEP/IPEP- Now I'm really scared!!!!
by Jenny Wren, Dec 26, 2006 12:00AM
I had 9 tubes of blood taken today, the above blood test was one of 6 different ones, when I looked this up, its to test for all kinds of stuff like, Leukemia, Lupus, Multiple Myeloma, etc.. Now I'm really scared. If these come back normal she wants to do a LP. Anyone know anything about this specific test? Thanks

Its good to have all the blood test done to rule out disorders.
A LP is a lumbar puncture or spinal tap.Done by the right DR they are relatively painless.They are checking the spinal fluids .The fluid can rule out many disorders.
