About Protein Electrophoresis Test
Why is the Protein Electrophoresis Test done?
Doctors order a Protein Electrophoresis Test to identify a few things:
- By separating the different proteins in the blood serum, doctors are able to determine the cause of symptoms or illnesses a person may be experiencing.

- A Protein Electrophoresis Test is especially helpful in determining the cause of certain symptoms like nausea, sudden weight loss, back pain, weak bones, fatigue or weakness, constant and excessive thirst, and even constipation.
What does a Protein Electrophoresis Test measure?
Various types of proteins are found in the blood such as:
- Albumin
- Alpha-1 globulin
- Alpha-2 globulin
- Beta globulin
- and Gamma globulin.
The Protein Electrophoresis Test is used to analyze and measure the value of all of these different proteins in the blood.
In general, the normal range of each of these proteins in the blood are as follows:
| Protein Type | Normal Range (grams/decilitre) |
| Albumin | 3.8-5.0 |
| Alpha-1 Globulin | 0.1- 0.3 |
| Alpha-2 Globulin | 0.6- 1.0 |
| Beta Globulin | 0.7- 1.4 |
| Gamma Globulin | 0.7- 1.6 |
The Protein Electrophoresis Test is suggested by doctors to check if the protein values are within this range or not.
Proteins are called the building blocks of the body. They determine all major aspects like bone structure overall health, as well as help with healing and recovery of the body. The increase in value of any of these proteins can be an indication of a particular type of ailment most associated with that protein.

Interpreting Protein Electrophoresis test results
When a Protein Electrophoresis Test is done, the different proteins are separated by placing the blood serum into a special gel and then exposing this to electric current. The different proteins separate into groups, clubbing with other protein molecules of their kind, which are then analyzed.
