What's this test for?
This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained chronic fatigue, recurring infections, or persistent symptoms that haven't been diagnosed. It helps identify abnormal protein levels in your blood that could indicate immune system disorders, chronic inflammation, or other underlying health conditions. Many people use this test when they've been feeling unwell for a while but standard tests haven't revealed the cause.
How should I prepare for this test?
Overnight fasting is preferred for this test, which means avoiding food and drinks except water for 8-12 hours before your blood draw. You can typically schedule your appointment for the morning so you fast while you sleep. Continue taking your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise, and stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
What's included in this test?
This test separates your blood proteins into six distinct fractions: albumin, alpha-1, alpha-2, beta-1, beta-2, and gamma globulins. Each protein fraction provides clues about different aspects of your health, including liver function, immune system activity, inflammation levels, and potential abnormal protein production. Together, these measurements help identify protein imbalances that could explain chronic symptoms or reveal conditions that need further investigation.
What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your protein levels mean and whether any abnormal patterns were detected. These notes include personalized recommendations on what the findings suggest, whether additional testing may be helpful, and lifestyle factors that support immune health. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your protein levels over time using our trends feature if you need to monitor changes or treatment progress.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is especially useful for people with unexplained chronic fatigue, frequent infections, persistent inflammation, or unexplained weight loss. It's also important for those being evaluated for immune system disorders, blood protein abnormalities, or conditions affecting the liver or kidneys. Your doctor might recommend it if you have symptoms suggesting an underlying condition that hasn't been identified through routine testing.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include persistent fatigue that doesn't improve with rest, recurring infections or slow wound healing, unexplained bone pain or fractures, and ongoing inflammation or swelling. You might also experience unexplained weight loss, excessive thirst, frequent urination, or general feelings of being unwell without a clear cause. These symptoms can indicate protein abnormalities that this test is designed to detect.
How can I naturally support my immune and protein health?
Focus on eating adequate high-quality protein from varied sources like lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes, and dairy to support healthy protein production. Stay well-hydrated, get 7-9 hours of quality sleep, and manage stress through regular exercise and relaxation techniques. Limiting alcohol intake and avoiding smoking are particularly important for liver health, which plays a key role in protein production.
What is protein electrophoresis and why does it matter?
Protein electrophoresis is a laboratory technique that separates the different types of proteins in your blood and measures their levels. It matters because abnormal protein patterns can be early indicators of immune disorders, chronic inflammation, liver or kidney disease, and certain blood conditions. By identifying these patterns, your healthcare provider can diagnose conditions that might otherwise go undetected and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
What does abnormal protein electrophoresis mean?
Abnormal results can indicate several different conditions depending on which protein fractions are affected. Low albumin might suggest liver or kidney problems, while elevated gamma globulins can indicate immune system activity or chronic infection. Unusual spikes in certain protein fractions might suggest monoclonal gammopathies or other blood disorders. Your doctor will interpret your specific pattern in the context of your symptoms and medical history.
How often should I retest my protein levels?
If you're being monitored for a known condition affecting your protein levels, your doctor will typically recommend retesting every 3-6 months to track changes and treatment response. For initial diagnosis with normal results but persistent symptoms, retesting in 6-12 months may be appropriate. If abnormalities are detected, more frequent monitoring every 1-3 months might be necessary depending on the findings and your clinical situation.

What this means
Your total protein level is slightly below the optimal range. While this is often not concerning on its own, it may indicate reduced protein intake, absorption issues, or increased protein loss. This finding works together with your protein electrophoresis pattern to give a complete picture of your protein health.
Recommended actions
Ensure adequate daily protein intake from varied sources like lean meats, fish, eggs, and legumes
Stay well-hydrated and maintain a balanced diet with sufficient calories
Consider tracking your protein intake to ensure you're meeting daily needs (typically 0.8g per kg body weight)
Retest in 3-6 months to monitor trends, especially if symptoms persist
* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
