Globulin ratio may also be used, which is the ratio of albumin to globulin, and is usually between 1.7-2.2, ie there is normally around twice as much albumin as globulin. Serum protein el...
In 15% of myeloma cases the diagnosis would be missed if only serum electrophoresis was performed with testing urine for Bence Jones' proteins. Serum protein elect...
Do not use serum protein electrophoresis, serum immunofixation, serum-free light-chain assay or urine electrophoresis (urine Bence-Jones protein assessment) alone to exclude...
ESR raised in collagen vascular diseases, myeloma and malignancy. Serum protein electrophoresis: for monoclonal immunoglobulin band in myeloma. Pituitary function tests .
Biochemistry: serum protein electrophoresis, serum angiotensin-converting enzyme. Immunology: antinuclear factor, anti-extractable nuclear antigen antibodies (anti-Ro, anti-La), a...
Laboratory investigations may include FBC, ESR, CRP, fasting blood sugar, renal and liver functions, antinuclear antibody, serum protein electrophoresis, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody, ...
Autoantibodies (see above). Serum protein electrophoresis and quantitative immunoglobulins: An IgG-predominant polyclonal hypergammaglobulinaemia is a common finding in patients with ...
Renal function tests and assessment of proteinuria if present. Serum immunoglobulin concentrations, including IgG subclasses. Serum protein electrophoresis. When serum immunogl...
Urinalysis and urine microscopy for red cells to distinguish haematuria from haemoglobinuria (the sample must be fresh, as decaying red cells will release haemoglobin). Serum globulins and...
Immunology: Serum immunoglobulins, serum protein electrophoresis, Bence Jones' proteinuria: immune paresis, monoclonal band on serum protein electrophoresis, and Bence Jones' pro...
Plasma viscosity (may not be routinely available in all UK laboratories, in which case the diagnosis of high plasma viscosity remains a clinical one). Serum protein electrophoresis and imm...
Check plasma glucose for possible diabetes. Urine/serum protein electrophoresis, cold agglutinins and fibrinogen levels may identify hyperviscosity states.
Acute-phase Proteins, CRP, ESR and Viscosity, Acute-phase proteins are proteins whose levels fluctuate in response to tissue injury - eg, trauma, myocardial infarction, ac...
Protein-losing Enteropathy (Causes, Symptoms and Treatment), Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a rare condition characterised by a loss of serum protein into the gastroint...
Cow's Milk Protein Allergy, Many children who have been allergic to cow's milk protein become tolerant to it by the time they are 5 years old. What is cow's milk pr...
Blood tests to exclude other conditions, such as vitamin B12 and folate levels, HIV serology, Lyme disease serology, creatine kinase assay, serum protein electrophoresis, anti-GM1 antibodies ...

Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA), What is cow's milk protein allergy? Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is one of the most common allergic disorders seen i...
The monoclonal protein is typically small; it may be missed on electrophoresis unless immunofixation is done on both serum and 24-hour urine.
