Dear Mrs.D,

In one of your links about neurosarcoidosis, it says that one of the workups is Serum protein immune electrophoresis. My questions are:

1. Is this test the same as Serum protein electrophoresis?

2. Is ACE the first protocol for Sarcoidosis diagnosis?

I was just wondering if, assuming, Serum protein immune electrophoresis and serum protein electrophoresis are the same, and it was mentioned that it is one of the diagnosis for sarcoid, is it safe to assume Mrs.D that a normal serum protein electrophorisis could mean without sarcoid?

Thank you so much Mrs.D
