PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS

The protein electrophoresis test separates proteins in the blood based on their electrical charge and size. This test is used to diagnose and monitor conditions affecting protein levels, such as multiple myeloma, amyloidosis, and chronic inflammatory diseases. By identifying abnormal protein patterns, the test helps detect monoclonal gammopathies and other protein abnormalities. The protein electrophoresis test provides valuable information for diagnosing and managing conditions associated with abnormal protein levels, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring disease progression.
