Total Protein
Explanation: Total Protein measures the combined levels of albumin and globulins in the blood. These proteins are essential for building tissues, immune function, and transporting nutrients.
Test purpose: A Total Protein test helps evaluate liver function, kidney health, and nutritional status. High total protein may indicate chronic inflammation, infections, or dehydration. Low total protein may suggest liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, or immune deficiencies.
- Detect liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis, hepatitis).
- Assess kidney disease, where proteins may be lost in urine.
- Evaluate nutritional status (protein deficiency or malnutrition).
- Detect immune disorders (e.g. autoimmune diseases).
