URINE ELECTROPHOROSIS

Urine electrophoresis is a diagnostic method utilizing electrophoretic techniques to separate and analyze proteins within urine. By applying an electric current to a urine sample, proteins migrate through a gel or medium based on their charge and size. This process facilitates the identification and measurement of specific proteins such as albumin, globulins, and other fractions. The insights gained from analyzing protein patterns and levels through urine electrophoresis are pivotal for diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions, particularly those associated with kidney function and protein metabolism. Irregularities in protein profiles can serve as indicators of disorders such as kidney diseases or multiple myeloma. Collaborating with additional clinical information and laboratory tests, urine electrophoresis equips healthcare professionals with valuable data for a comprehensive assessment and effective management of conditions affecting protein metabolism and excretion.
