Protein Electrophoresis

The Protein Electrophoresis test is a laboratory test used to separate proteins in the blood based on their electrical charge and size. It helps identify different types of proteins such as albumin and globulins and evaluates their distribution.

This test is commonly used to detect abnormal protein patterns that may be associated with conditions such as multiple myeloma, chronic inflammation, liver disease, and immune system disorders.

The purpose of this test is to

• To separate and measure different proteins in the blood
• To detect abnormal protein patterns
• To help diagnose conditions like multiple myeloma
• To assess liver and immune system function
• To monitor disease progression
