Doctors test the urine for a type of M protein called Bence Jones protein. Urine collected over a 24 hour period is sent to the lab to be examined. If the lab finds a high level of Bence Jones protein, doctors will monitor your kidneys, as too much Bence Jones protein can clog or damage the kidneys.
