Protein Electrophoresis, Serum near me in Faridabad
The Protein Electrophoresis, Serum test checks different proteins in the blood. It sorts proteins by size and electrical charge to help find health problems like infections, liver/kidney issues, or certain types of cancer. It is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Faridabad.
During the test, a small blood sample is placed on a special gel, and an electric current separates the proteins into groups based on their size and charge. Doctors then look at these groups to spot unusual patterns, like too much of one protein or missing proteins. This test helps diagnose conditions such as multiple myeloma (a type of blood cancer), liver or kidney disease, and long-term infections.
The test is needed if there are symptoms like constant tiredness, swelling, or unexplained weight loss, or if other blood tests show abnormal protein levels.
No specific preparation is needed to get the Protein Electrophoresis, Serum test done. Eat and drink normally before the test.
Understanding Protein Electrophoresis, Serum

What does Protein Electrophoresis, Serum measure?
The Protein Electrophoresis, Serum test measures the concentration and distribution of specific proteins (like albumin, alpha globulins, beta globulins, and gamma globulins) in the blood. Each of these plays a vital role in bodily functions. This test aids in the detection of abnormal proteins, particularly monoclonal (M) proteins. The presence of M proteins may indicate plasma cell disorders such as multiple myeloma (a blood cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow). Also, this test helps diagnose and monitor various blood disorders.
