Immunoelectrophoresis - urineFrom our partner site on breast cancer, MyBreastCancerNetwork.com. Collection of the first morning urine, which is the most concentrated, may be recommended. If the collection is being taken from an infant, a couple of extra collection bags may be necessary. How the test will feel: The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort. Why the test is performed: This test is used to roughly measure the amounts of various immunoglobulins in urine. Most often, this is used as a screening test, particularly in people who have protein in the urine (demonstrated on urinalysis or other test) when urine protein electrophoresis indicates a significant amount of globulin proteins (antibodies).
