Protein Electrophoresis Test

The Protein Electrophoresis Test measures and separates proteins in the blood based on their electrical properties, providing a detailed assessment of major protein fractions, including albumin and globulins. Abnormal protein patterns may be associated with inflammatory conditions, liver or kidney disease, immune disorders, nutritional deficiencies, or plasma cell disorders such as multiple myeloma. This test is commonly used to investigate unexplained fatigue, anemia, recurrent infections, elevated total protein levels, or other abnormal laboratory findings, and helps support the diagnosis and monitoring of a wide range of systemic conditions.
