 Below are the results of a protein electrophoresis: (comparison
between a the normal CSF percentage levels)
GIVEN NORMAL CSF
Prealbumin 4.5 2-7%

Albumin: 64.5 56-76%

a1-Globulin 3.6 2-7%

a 2-Globulin: 6.5 3.5-12%

b-and g-globulin: 12.6 8-18%

g-Globulin 7.9 7-12%

laboratory findings shows an increase in total protein and
globulin but normal albumin. What could be the possible
disease involved?

A. Multiple Myeloma
B. Malabsorption
C. Hepatic Damage
D. Nephrotic Syndrome

A severe form of obstructive lung disease starting with dyspnea and
leading progressively towards emphysema was found in several
members of the family. One brother had died earlier from lung disease
blood plasma from his surviving brother and sister showed
______________ concentration of a1-Antitrypsin and the a-1 plasma
fraction moved abnormally on isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis.

A. Abnormally low
B. Abnormally high
C. Normal

The total protein is 7.3 g/dl and the albumin
is 5.5 g/dl. What could be the globulin
value and A:G ratio, respectively?
A. 12.8 g/dl, 0.42
B. 1.32 g/dl, 4.16
C. 1.8 g/dl, 3.06
D. 12.8 g/dl, 2.32
 Formulas:
Globulin = Total Protein - Albumin
A:G Ration = Albumin / Globulin

Globulin = TP Albumin A:G Ratio = Albumin / Globulin

= 7.3 g/dl 5.5 g/dl = 5.5 g/dl / 1.8 g/dl
=1.8 g/dl = 3.06 g/dl

Answer: c. 1.8 g/dl, 3.06
