The Protein Electrophoresis 24-Hour Urine test provides accurate assessment of urinary proteins, used primarily in diagnosing multiple myeloma, amyloidosis, and renal disorders. Testing is performed in our DHA-licensed and ISO 9001:2015 accredited laboratory.
Test Overview & Methodology
The Protein Electrophoresis 24-Hour Urine test separates and quantifies urinary proteins to detect abnormal levels of monoclonal immunoglobulins (Bence Jones protein) indicative of plasma cell disorders. This test is essential for evaluating unexplained proteinuria, suspected multiple myeloma, and renal tubular damage.
| Feature | Our Test (Protein Electrophoresis 24h Urine) | Closest Alternative (Random Urine Electrophoresis) |
|---|---|---|
| Method | High-Resolution Agarose Gel Electrophoresis with Densitometry | Standard Agarose Gel Electrophoresis (qualitative) |
| Sample Type | 24-hour urine collection, total volume measured, preservative-free | Random urine sample, no volume correction |
| Clinical Accuracy | Reflects daily protein loss; quantifies M-protein in mg/24h | Variable concentration; cannot quantify daily excretion |
| Turnaround Time | 4 working days | 3โ4 days |
| ISO Accreditation | Yes (ISO 9001:2015) | Not guaranteed |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, I understand how an abnormal protein result can cause anxiety. However, an isolated abnormal electrophoresis pattern does not always mean cancer; it must be correlated with your clinical symptoms, serum protein levels, and other investigations like immunofixation. Please never modify your prescribed medications without direct advice from your treating physician."

Safety Advisory
โ DO NOT discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Exclusion Criteria
- Do not collect during active menstruation or urinary tract infection to avoid false results.
- Patients with gross hematuria should postpone testing until cleared by a physician.
Emergency Red Flags
- Seek urgent care if you develop sudden foamy urine, swelling of legs, confusion, or severe bone painโthese may indicate acute kidney injury or hypercalcemia from multiple myeloma.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the Protein Electrophoresis 24-Hour Urine test diagnose?
The Protein Electrophoresis 24-Hour Urine test identifies abnormal monoclonal immunoglobulins or light chains (Bence Jones proteins). It is primarily used to screen for multiple myeloma, AL amyloidosis, and monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance.
2. How do I collect a 24-hour urine sample correctly?
Collect all urine over 24 hours in a clean container, refrigerate, and record the total volume accurately. Discard the first morning urine, then collect every drop for the next 24 hours; do not add preservatives.
3. Should I adjust my diet or stop medications before the test?
No special preparation is required, but inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking. Avoid excessive fluid intake that could dilute urine; certain drugs like aspirin may be noted by the lab.
