Q

the SMALL SPIKE in BETA REGION is due to_________

a. iflammation
b. nephrotic syndrome
c. IDA
d. chronic inflammation

A
  • the SMALL SPIKE in BETA REGION is due to iIRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA
  • the presence of FREE HEMOGLOBIN will cause a BLIP in late alpha 2 and early beta zone region
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis and Malignancy would result to POLYCLONAL GAMMOPATHY classified as CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
