Urine

Protein Electrophoresis Urine protein electrophoresis is a medical lab test used to measure the amount of a specific set of proteins in a urine sample. It can detect protein in the urine which can indicate an existing health issue or disease in the patient. Some of the proteins that are measured are albumin, globulins, and Bence-Jones protein. Abnormal levels of these proteins are often associated with conditions such as kidney disease, urinary tract infections, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple myeloma. Urine protein electrophoresis is an important tool for diagnosing and monitoring these conditions. Knowing the amounts of proteins present can help doctors make more informed decisions about their patients’ treatment, which can lead to better outcomes.
