Description

This test includes total protein and serum protein electrophoresis. The serum proteins can be grouped into 5 fractions by protein electrophoresis: Albumin, Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta, Gamma, The concentration of these fractions and the electrophoretic pattern may be characteristic of diseases such as monoclonal gammopathies, A1AT deficiency disease, nephrotic syndrome, and inflammatory processes associated with infection, liver disease, and autoimmune diseases. The serum proteins can be grouped into 5 fractions by protein electrophoresis: Albumin, Alpha-1,Alpha-2,Beta,Gamma, of these fractions and the electrophoretic pattern may be characteristic of diseases such as monoclonal gammopathies, A1AT deficiency disease, nephrotic syndrome, and inflammatory processes associated with infection, liver disease, and autoimmune diseases. TOTAL PROTEIN > or =1 year: 6.3-7.9 g/dL PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS Albumin: 3.4-4.7 g/dL Alpha-1-globulin: 0.1-0.3 g/dL Alpha-2-globulin: 0.6-1.0 g/dL Beta-globulin: 0.7-1.2 g/dL Gamma-globulin: 0.6-1.6 g/dL
