What is Protein Electrophoresis, Serum?

This test measures the different types of proteins in your blood serum. It separates proteins like albumin and globulins into distinct bands, providing a snapshot of their levels and distribution. This helps evaluate your overall health and detect potential imbalances.

Why is this test important?

Protein electrophoresis is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various conditions, including inflammatory diseases, liver or kidney disorders, and certain immune system abnormalities. It is particularly important in detecting monoclonal gammopathies, such as multiple myeloma.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
