Casandra
Casandra Test Code LC30906Version 1 (DRAFT)
Performing Lab
Protein Electrophoresis, Serum With Reflex to IFE, Serum
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
Evaluate disease categories as acute or chronic inflammation, liver disorder, hypogammaglobulinemia, possible monoclonal gammopathies
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
Protein electrophoresis and immunofixation have limitations, including the inability to detect proteins present at very low concentrations and potential interference in samples with marked hemolysis or lipemia. Ideal sample integrity might be compromised by these factors, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
