Protein Electrophoresis Test

Report Delivery Time: 3 Days

Recommended Gender: Both

Sample Type: Blood

The Protein Electrophoresis Test is used to measure specific proteins in the blood and identify abnormal levels or patterns. It helps diagnose and monitor conditions like multiple myeloma, chronic infections, liver or kidney disease, and autoimmune disorders. This test offers detailed insights into the body’s immune response and protein production.

The Protein Electrophoresis Test is a diagnostic blood test that separates and analyzes various types of proteins in the blood, such as albumin and globulins. By evaluating the pattern and quantity of these proteins, doctors can detect abnormalities linked to numerous health conditions, including cancers and immune disorders.

Why is the Test Done?

  • To detect abnormal protein levels in the blood

  • To diagnose and monitor multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders

  • To evaluate conditions such as liver or kidney disease

  • To assess chronic infections, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune disorders

Who Should Get This Protein Electrophoresis Test?

  • Individuals with unexplained fatigue, weight loss, or bone pain

  • Patients being monitored for multiple myeloma or Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia

  • People showing symptoms of chronic inflammation or immune dysfunction

  • As part of an evaluation for abnormal total protein or albumin levels

Test Procedure & Preparation

  • Sample Required: Blood sample (Serum – 2 to 3 ml)

  • Fasting Required: Not usually required unless specified by the doctor

  • Method Used: Gel or Capillary Electrophoresis

  • Turnaround Time: 24–48 hours

Parameters Covered in this test

  • Albumin

  • Alpha-1 Globulin

  • Alpha-2 Globulin

  • Beta-1 Globulin

  • Beta-2 Globulin

  • Gamma Globulin

  • Total Protein

  • A/G Ratio (Albumin/Globulin Ratio)

  • Monoclonal (M) Spike Detection – if present, it is quantified and characterized

Understanding the Results

The test provides a visual graph (electrophoretogram) that separates protein fractions into:

  • Albumin

  • Alpha-1 globulin

  • Alpha-2 globulin

  • Beta globulin

  • Gamma globulin

Abnormal patterns may indicate:

  • Monoclonal spikes (M-spikes): seen in multiple myeloma

  • Decreased albumin: liver disease, malnutrition

  • Increased gamma globulins: chronic inflammation or infections
    Interpretation should be done by a healthcare provider in context with symptoms and other test results.
