Avatar n tn There have been new changes recently in my blood work and Protein Electrophoresis and Total Protein, Random (Urine). For my blood work my Potassium is low at 3.4. Total Protein is high at 8.3 and Globulin is high at 4.1. My platelet count is also high at 458. Everything else was normal for blood work. For the Protein Electrophoresis and Total Protein, Random (Urine). I had high levels of Creatinine.
1600188 tn?1329859845 Urine Immunofixation electrophoresis reveals a faint band that appears to type as IGG with no detectable corresponding light chain. Clinical correlation recommended for interpretation. What does this mean and what is IGG?
Avatar m tn So, the 24 h urine test also ended up showing a "small amount" of bence jones protein. Tomorrow is my appointment with the specialist so it will be really interesting to hear what she has to say. It still doesn't say exactly how much I have, just that it is a small amount. I really hope it all ends up being nothing.
1068422 tn?1293684253 Serum Total Protein: 6.4 Based off: g/dL Albumin: 4.1 Alpha 1: 0.2 Alpha 2: 0.8 Beta - 1: 0.5 Beta - 2: 0.2 Gamma: 0.6 Albumin 64.7 Alpha 1 2.7 -------Abnormal Reference Range: 3-6% Alpha 2 12.5 Beta 1 7.8 Beta 2 3.5 Gamma 8.
1295419 tn?1276822872 Everything, except the serum protein electrophoresis has been normal. For urine eosinophils, no eosinophils were seen, and mononuclears, epithelial cells, and pmn's were all "rare". As far as kidney function tests, his creatinine was 0.96, Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate was >59, Bun was 12, Bun/Creat Ratio was 13. It shows me that all of these were in the "standard range".
336365 tn?1213319598 The spinal was cancelled for unrelated reasons. My 24 hour urine test came back with high protein and blood in the urine (this has been on-going for years). My neurologist had a fit and ordered this test. See results above. I was diagnosed with White Matter Disease after two years of MRI results. The Spinal was because of suspicion of Multiple Sclerosis. I did have the Lumbar Puncture this past Tuesday and no results yet.
Avatar f tn You may also need 24 hours urine test, random protein to creatinine ratio to check the kidney status and a serum and urine protein electrophoresis test to determine which proteins are being excreted and in what quantities. Sometimes, some proteins will appear in the urine if the levels of protein in blood become high, even when the kidney is functioning properly. I suggest you to discuss these investigations with your urologist and get them done. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
Avatar n tn Should I be concerned about the low IgM level or is the serum protein electrophoresis the better test. I am worried about multiple myeloma. I looked up information in regards to a low IgM level and it states that this can be caused by multiple myeloma. I also recently had an mri for lower back pain witch indicated a protruding disc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn 5), normal cbc, urine immunofixation is nml, blood immunofixaiton is nml, blood epg is normal, random urine protein electrophoresis nml, kappa/lambja ligght chain nml, no M spikes, sreum proten is 6.8(6.1-8.1), albumin(4.6(3.6-5.1), globulin 2.2(1.9-3.7). I dont have the parathyroid like protein test, but I am very concerned I have cancer for that was on top of differential.
19796956 tn?1543330575 I have recently visited an internal medicine doctor, she asked me to do some blood analysis .... Cbc, ANAhep2 and a protein electrophoresis gel...... all of them were normal particulary the protein electrophoresis gel had a very normal shape. Doctor told me that you are fine and you have a healthy body and your symptomes are mainly psychosommatic .....and when i asked her about a possible chronic infection like hiv and hbv she told me that i should not worry about.
Avatar n tn Not sure were to post this but my dad had the serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) test. Everything was in the normal range but his Albumin was a 5.1 g/dl. Is this a cause for concern? Like i said everything else was in the normal range including the total protein level. He is going to a specialist but just wanted to see if someone could shine some light on this.
Avatar f tn Electrophoresis is a technique used to separate different elements (fractions) of a blood sample into individual components. Serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) is a screening test that measures the major blood proteins by separating them into five distinct fractions: albumin, alpha1, alpha2, beta, and gamma proteins. Protein electrophoresis can also be performed on urine. In CSF, the total protein concentration is normally 0.015–0.
Avatar f tn When performed on blood, it is called serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP). When performed on urine, it is called urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP). An additional test, called an immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) or immunofixation, may also be performed to provide more specific information about the type of abnormal antibody proteins present. Assessing changes and proportions of various proteins, particularly M protein, helps track the progression of myeloma disease and response to treatment.
Avatar f tn Protein Electrophoresis, Total Protein [high normal] 74/80 Alpha 2 Globulin — 8.7/9 Beta 2 Globulin — 4.8/5 Urine Electrophoresis — Trace albumin (had for long, long time) Carcinoembryonic Antigen seemed to be normal. Nuclear Ab Titre normal.
359574 tn?1328360424 Hey, knowledgeable folks. My CSF has elevated WBC counts (9) and elevated Lymphs (82), so that's why she says it shows inflammation. Here is what the section labeled "Multiple Sclerosis Profile" says: CSF PROTEIN 29 MG/DL REF 15-45 IGG/CSF 2.2 MG/DL REF 0.0-8.0 ALBUMIN/CSF 17.8 MG/DL REF 9.0-32.0 IGG/ALB RATION .124 REF .066-.270 IGG INDEX, CSF .47 REF .00-.70 ALBUMIN 4.0 G/DL REF 3.5-5.
Avatar n tn if protein is not found in urine, will urine antibody test for any disease show no results? Or is it possible that there is antibody in urine but urine routine will show no protein present ?
Avatar n tn Usually all protein deficiencies can be known by specialized electrophoresis tests for proteins. It is true that estrogen therapy can amplify protein S deficiency. You need to consult a hematologist for this test, which is a specialized test. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.

Avatar f tn Lol I was like Okay then when my doc tols me I had to do a test she said if there is protein. In my urine they will have top put me on bed rest and Watch baby closely. But my doc doesn't think I have it. Is just everyone had to get the test done.
Avatar m tn My csf results are normal, protein, sed rate, glucose, etc. the dr ordered "IP miscellaneous test" and the results are 34880. Could this be the band test? Of corse these were posted to my patient portal and I haven't talked to the dr.
Avatar f tn My real question is if HIV is present firstly would 4 weeks be to soon to know and secondly would testing all the immunoglobulin levels and Protein immunoelectrophoresis and protein electrophoresis be an indicator of HIV if they were high. They along with my thyroid levels were tested and it was only one part of the thyroid that was marginally high.
Avatar f tn But already had the Nuclear Antibody Comprehensive. Protein electrophoresis. Myeloleroxidase and Protease and antibody. Referred Ansay. And many more. I am all about getting better for sure but want to make sure all is relevant I suppose.
