Serum protein electrophoresis with immunofixation.

Laboratory values

Total protein3.9 (6.1–8.1) gram per deciliter (g/dL)
Albumin2 (3.8–4.8)
Alpha 1 globulin0.3 (0.2–0.3)
Alpha 2 globulin0.8 (0.5–0.9)
Beta 1 globulin0.3 (0.4–0.6)
Beta 2 globulin0.2 (0.2–0.5)
Gamma globulin0.4 (0.8–1.7)
Abnormal protein bandFaint band visible with overall polyclonal pattern in the gamma region, a developing plasma cell disorder cannot be excluded
Serum immunofixationA faint band in immunoglobulin G and lambda against a dense polyclonal background. a developing plasma cell disorder cannot be excluded
