Protein Electrophoresis (s) (Serum (s))

Testcode:	E_EPBC
Specimens:	1 ml Serum (s)
includes following tests:	Protein, total (Serum (s)) Albumin (electrophoresis) (Serum (s)) Alpha1-globulin (Serum (s)) Alpha2-globulin (Serum (s)) Beta-globulin (Serum (s))
Method:	Electrophoresis
Set-up:	Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
Duration:	1 day
Indication/Significance:	Differentiation and assessment of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases Diagnostic assessment of an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) Diagnostic assessment of abnormal basic laboratory test results Suspected malignant diseases Suspected chronic liver and kidney diseases Suspected protein-loss syndrome Suspected monoclonal gammopathies
Interpretation:	The electropherogram more… The electropherogram offers no final diagnosis. As various diseases lead to a quantitative or qualitative alteration of the concentrations of the individual fractions in the electrophoresis, partially typical patterns and profiles of dysproteinemias develop. The capillary zone electrophoresis leads to a double peak in beta globulin fractions. However, both fractions are reported as one single beta globulin fraction. close
Further tests:	Quantitative determination of individual protein fractions in the serum, e.g. albumin, alpha-1-glycoprotein, alpha-1-antitrypsin, alpha-2-macroglobulin, haptoglobin, transferrin, beta-lipoprotein, complement as well as the immunoglobulins IgA, IgA and IgM
