About test
What does PROTEIN - TOTAL measure?
This test measures the total amount of protein in the blood, including albumin and globulins. Proteins are important for fluid balance, immune function, and transporting substances in the body. It may be used as part of a general health assessment or to help evaluate nutritional status, liver function, kidney-related protein loss, immune system activity, or other conditions affecting protein levels. Results are interpreted alongside medical history and other laboratory tests.
