Protein Electrophoresis, Serum With Reflex to IFE, Serum

This test separates and measures different groups of proteins in the liquid part of your blood to check for abnormal patterns. It helps show whether your body is producing abnormal proteins or experiencing issues related to the immune system, which can explain symptoms like fatigue or bone pain. Doctors use these results to look for signs of chronic inflammation, liver disorders, or conditions where the body makes too much of a single protein type. However, this test does not provide a final diagnosis on its own and usually requires additional testing to confirm the specific cause of any protein imbalance.
