Comparison of Protein Electrophoresis Fractions in Diabetes Patient Serum

당뇨병 환자의 혈청단백 전기영동 분획 비교

We compared the serum protein electrophoresis patterns in sera of diabetes patients (n=166) which showed more than 150 mg/dL of glucose. The concentrations of total protein, albumin, ${\alpha}1$-globulin, ${\alpha}2$-globulin, ${\beta}$-globulin and ${\gamma}$-globulin in sera of patients were $6.3{\pm}1.2g/dL$, $40.3{\pm}6.4%$, $4.9{\pm}2.3%$, $13.5{\pm}3.8%$, $15.5{\pm}3.9%$, and $25.9{\pm}5.8%$, respectively. The frequency of patients showed lower levels of total protein, albumin, ${\alpha}1$-globulin were 48.5%, 96.4%, and 33.7%. The frequency of patients showed higher levels of ${\alpha}2$-globulin, ${\beta}$-globulin, and ${\gamma}$-globulin were 56.6%, 47.0%, and 90.4%, respectively. This data suggests that the high concentration of glucose in blood may damage the kidney and liver. Also, the decrease of albumin and ${\alpha}1$-globulin and increase of ${\alpha}2$-globulin, ${\beta}$-globulin and ${\gamma}$-globulin shows that the concentration of glucose in blood will have an effect on the variation of serum protein electrophoretic patterns.
