Description |
Serum Protein Electrophoresis (Liver)
-
Includes the separation of the protein fractions albumin,
α-, β-, γ-globulins
and the albumin-globulin ratio. The protein fractions are also
represented in the form of a graph (see figures).
-
Acute inflammation leads to an increase in the α- and/or
β-globulin fraction.
Polyclonal hypergammaglobulinaemia is caused by infectious,
immune-mediated, or neoplastic diseases. Especially in cases of
feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), the test is used to
support the clinical suspicion.
-
Albumin, α- and β-globulin
fractions are lowered in cases of severe liver diseases.
-
When using plasma, an additional small peak in the
β-globulin fraction is possible due to coagulation factors.
