# Protein Electrophoresis, Serum

> This test measures and separates the proteins in the fluid part of your blood into specific groups. It helps show if your immune system is producing abnormal proteins or if you have imbalances related to inflammation, nutrition, or organ function. Doctors use these results to look for signs of blood disorders, such as multiple myeloma, or to check for liver and kidney problems. While it detects unusual patterns, it does not provide a final diagnosis and often requires further testing to confirm the specific condition.
