Protein Electrophoresis with Immunofixation in Pune

What is Protein Electrophoresis with Immunofixation

Protein electrophoresis with immunofixation is a laboratory test used to separate and identify proteins in a patients blood or urine. The test involves placing the sample on a gel and applying an electric current to move the proteins through the gel. Immunofixation is then used to identify specific proteins and their quantities. The results can aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of certain medical conditions, such as multiple myeloma.

Who should do this test?

Patients suspected of having monoclonal gammopathy or multiple myeloma based on symptoms such as bone pain, fatigue, anemia, or renal failure.

• Patients who have been diagnosed with a monoclonal gammopathy or multiple myeloma and are being monitored for disease progression or response to treatment.
• Patients who have non-specific symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, swollen lymph nodes, or persistent fever, which may be a sign of an underlying condition that affects the immune system or the production of antibodies.

What to do if the test is abnormal?

• The first step is to consult with a healthcare provider who can interpret the results and recommend further testing or treatment.
• Depending on the specific abnormality found, additional tests such as bone marrow biopsy or imaging may be necessary to determine the cause of the abnormality.
• Treatment options will vary depending on the underlying condition but may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other medications. It is important to follow up with regular appointments and monitor the progress of treatment to ensure the best outcome.

• Choosing a nearby lab reduces the time it takes for the sample to be transported
• This leads to reduced sample deterioration.
• While most patients are unaware, blood samples must be transported under strictly controlled temperature, and choosing a lab near you makes this easier to achieve.
• Even if the lab does not adhere to temperature control, the time spent between sample collection and analysis reduces and this is more likely to produce more accurate results
