What is Protein Spectrum and Protein Electrophoresis?
The protein spectrum and protein electrophoresis are tests that analyze the different types of proteins in the blood. Protein electrophoresis separates these proteins based on their electrical charge and size, making it possible to measure the concentrations of various protein fractions, such as albumin and globulins.
Why should you have Protein Spectrum and Protein Electrophoresis tested?
These tests are useful for diagnosing and monitoring conditions that affect protein production and composition, such as liver diseases, kidney diseases, and certain infectious diseases. It can also help in detecting certain blood disorders and immune dysfunctions.
What does it indicate?
The results of a protein spectrum and protein electrophoresis can point to the presence of abnormal proteins, the absence of normal proteins, or changes in the ratio between different protein fractions. This can provide important clues about the underlying health status.
What does a high protein level mean?
A high total protein level may suggest chronic inflammation, infections, bone marrow diseases, or other conditions that increase protein production.
What does a low protein level mean?
A low total protein level may indicate malnutrition, liver disease, renal protein loss, or other conditions that affect protein production or absorption.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
