Table 3 Serum protein electrophoresis results

Total protein

8.8 g/dl

(6.4–8.2 g/dl)

Albumin

3.4 g/dl

(3.2–5.0 g/dl)

Alpha 1

0.2 g/dl

(0.1–0.4 g/dl)

Alpha 2

1.2 g/dl

(0.6–1.0 g/dl)

Beta

1.0 g/dl

(0.6–1.3 g/dl)

Gamma

Interpretation

Elevated gamma globulin with a spike in the gamma region (IgG 3.1 gm/dl) is compatible with monoclonal gammopathy suggests 24-hour urine for Bence Jones protein
