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.
