Abstract

Introduction Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) has been an integral part of the diagnostic process for more than a decade. It is used mainly to assess the patients for the presence of a monoclonal gammopathy, but it is also useful for detecting humoral immunodeficiency, liver disease, alpha-antitrypsin deficiencies, acute phase reaction, chronic inflammation, and various other conditions. Materials and methods The present study was conducted on 90 serum samples to detect presence and quantify monoclonal gammopathy in clinically indicated cases. Conclusion Capillary electrophoresis (CE) provides high-resolution and detailed information about the major protein fractions. Capillary electrophoresis is an exciting new method that may improve the detection of monoclonal gammopathies and other abnormalities.
