Overview
Overview:
- The test separates proteins based on their size, shape, and charge using an electric field, allowing for the identification and quantification of specific protein bands in the serum.
- It is primari...
Risk of Assessment
Serum immuno electrophoresis is a relatively safe procedure with minimal risks. The primary risk associated with the test is minor bruising or discomfort at the site of blood collection. In rare cases, there may be a slight risk of infection or ...
Ranges
Interpretation:
- Normal result: A balanced distribution of albumin and globulins with distinct bands for each protein type.
- Abnormal result: A spike or distinct band in one ...
Interpretation
Albumin: Albumin is the most abundant protein in the serum and typically appears as a well-defined band closest to the positive electrode. Its level can vary due to factors such as hydration status and liver function.
Sample Type
Sample Type:
- Blood sample (serum): Typically collected through venipuncture (blood draw). The serum is then processed and analyzed in the laboratory.

Description
Serum Immuno Electrophoresis Test, also known as SPEP, is a laboratory test used to analyze the proteins in the blood serum. It separates different types of proteins based on their electrical charge and size. By doing so, it can identify abnormal protein levels, which may indicate various medical conditions such as infections, autoimmune disorders, liver or kidney diseases, and certain types of cancer.
