Test Description: Protein Total with Albumin, Globulin

The Protein Total with Albumin and Globulin test measures the total amount of proteins in the blood, including the two main categories: albumin and globulin. Albumin is a protein produced by the liver that helps maintain fluid balance and transport substances, while globulins are a group of proteins involved in immune functions and transporting molecules. This test helps assess overall health, liver and kidney function, and immune system activity. Abnormal levels of albumin or globulin can indicate conditions such as liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, or immune disorders.
