what the risks are blood test, globulin electrophoresis, serum globulin electrophoresis, laboratory test that examines specific proteins, in the blood called globulins, protein electrophoresis, serum, immunoelectrophoresis, serum blood is drawn, a vein, on the inside, the elbow, the hand, puncture site is cleaned, antiseptic, an elastic band, around the upper arm to apply pressure, restrict blood flow, the vein, veins below the band to swell, blood, a needle is inserted, vein, blood is collected in an airtight vial, a syringe, band is removed, restore circulation, once the blood has been collected, needle is removed, puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding, an infant, young child, area is cleansed, antiseptic, punctured, a sharp needle, a lancet, blood collected, pipette, small glass tube, on a slide, onto a test strip, into a small container, cotton, a bandage applied, puncture site, any continued bleeding, electrophoresis, laboratory technique, blood serum, fluid portion of blood, placed on specially treated paper, exposed to an electric current, various proteins migrate, move on the paper, to form bands that indicate the relative proportion of each protein fraction, fast, 4 hours, advise to withhold drugs, interfere, special considerations, not discontinue any medications, discussing, infants, children, test depends on child's age, previous experience, prepare child, infant test, procedure preparation, birth to 1 year, toddler test, procedure preparation, 1 to 3 years, preschooler test, procedure preparation, 3 to 6 years, schoolage test, procedure preparation, 6 to 12 years, adolescent test, procedure preparation, 12 to 18 years, the needle is inserted to draw blood, feel moderate pain, others feel only a prick, stinging sensation, some throbbing, this test is performed, globulin proteins, particular interest, identification, the various types of globulins, globulin electrophoresis, useful, in the diagnosis of various disorders, proteins, made from amino acids, important constituents of all cells, tissues, many different kinds of proteins, many different functions, enzymes, hormones, hemoglobin, oxygen transport, ldl, cholesterol transport, fibrinogen, blood clotting, collagen, structure of bone, cartilage, immunoglobulins, antibodies, serum proteins, grossly separated into albumin, globulins, in other words, total protein = albumin + globulin, albumin, protein of highest concentration, in the serum, plasma, fluid portion of blood, serum plus clotting proteins, albumin, carrier of many small molecules, of prime importance in maintaining the oncotic pressure, the blood, keeping the fluid from leaking out, tissues, globulins, roughly divided into alpha, beta, gamma globulins, separated, quantitated, in the laboratory by electrophoresis, densitometry, gamma fraction includes the various types of antibodies, immunoglobulins m, g, a, serum globulin, 2.0 to 3.5 g/dl, igm component, 75 to 300 mg/dl, igg component, 650 to 1850 mg/dl, iga component, 90 to 350 mg/dl, increased gamma globulin proteins, multiple myeloma, chronic inflammatory disease, rheumatoid arthritis, sle, hyperimmunization, acute infection, waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, excessive bleeding, fainting, feeling lightheaded, hematoma, blood accumulating under the skin, infection, a slight risk, the skin is broken, multiple punctures to locate veins, drugs, affect the measurement of serum proteins include chlorpromazine, corticosteroids, isoniazid, neomycin, phenacemide, salicylates, sulfonamides, tolbutamide.
