Proteins: Electrophoretic Patterns Flashcards
1
Q
Monoclonal (destruction of band, hypercalcemia bone), hyperglobulinemia
Spike in the gamma region of electrophoresis pattern
A
Multiple Myeloma
2
Q
Low spike for albumin
A
Hypoalbuminemia
“Hypo” = low levels of albumin

Diffuse but large elevation of gamma globulin
A
Chronic liver disease
4
Q
Diffuse but small elevation of gamma globulin
A
Chronic Inflammatory Disease
5
Q
Sharply elevated spike in gamma globulin
A
Dysproteinemia
Monoclonal Gammopathy
6
Q
Low albumin spike
Very high betra globulin
A
Nephrotic Syndrome
7
Q
Low albumin spike
Moderate a2 globulin elevation
A
Protein-losing gammopathy
8

9
Q
