Protein Electrophoresis Price in Bangladesh

What is Protein Electrophoresis?

Protein Electrophoresis is a lab test that analyzes the different proteins in blood or urine to help diagnose conditions like multiple myeloma, liver disease, and kidney disorders. The test separates proteins by their electrical charge using a gel or agar medium.

Preparation typically involves no special requirements, though fasting may be needed. Risks are minimal but may include slight discomfort from blood collection.

Results show protein patterns, with abnormal results suggesting conditions like infections or autoimmune diseases. Interpretation requires expertise, and factors like dehydration or medication can affect results.

What to expect & how to prepare

Protein Electrophoresis is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Protein Electrophoresis result rather than self-diagnosing.
