AbstractTesting urine for Bence Jones Protein (BJP) had been a time old procedure used for screening and monitoring of monoclonal disorders since its description. However, has poor sensitivity and despite advances in diagnostic methods of monoclonal disorders it is being continued to be requested in individuals for evaluation of myeloma or plasma cell disorders. Effective utilization and minimizing untimely or unnecessary investigations is important in the evaluation and management of any medical condition. Though, we are hard-wired during our education with some “trigger” or “peculiar” words that make us jump to actions too quickly, without comprehending the actual problem. Supporting evidence is presented to avoid reflexive use of multiple tests and utilize tests that improve utilization, reduce waste, and uphold the Choosing Wisely principles in providing optimal care to the patients.
