Globulin electrophoresis

• 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

Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.

Increased gamma globulin proteins may indicate:

• Acute infection
• Chronic inflammatory disease (for example, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus)
• Hyperimmunization
• Multiple myeloma
• Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia
