Shop - Protein Total

Total protein is a blood test that measures the overall amount of protein in the bloodstream, including two main categories: albumin and globulin. Proteins play crucial roles in the body, including maintaining fluid balance, transporting substances, and supporting immune function. Normal total protein levels typically range from 6.0 to 8.3 grams per deciliter (g/dL). Abnormal total protein levels may indicate various health conditions; low levels could suggest liver disease, kidney disorders, or malnutrition, while high levels may be associated with chronic inflammation, infections, or certain blood disorders. The total protein test is often included in routine blood work to assess overall health and diagnose underlying medical issues.
