SPEP (Serum Protein Electrophoresis)

🔍 Overview

The Serum Protein Electrophoresis test separates proteins in the blood into different fractions to evaluate their distribution. It helps detect abnormal protein patterns associated with plasma cell disorders, chronic inflammation, and immune conditions.

📋 Test Summary

This test helps to:

• Diagnose multiple myeloma

• Detect monoclonal gammopathy (M-protein)

• Evaluate chronic infections or inflammation

• Assess immune system disorders

• Investigate unexplained high protein levels

Protein fractions analyzed include:

• Albumin

• Alpha-1 globulin

• Alpha-2 globulin

• Beta globulin

• Gamma globulin

✔ Important test for plasma cell disorders
✔ Helps identify abnormal protein production
✔ Simple blood test
