Test Details

Total protein is a blood test used to estimate the total concentration of all proteins present in plasma or serum, mainly albumin and globulin. These proteins play essential roles in transporting substances within the blood, maintaining osmotic pressure, supporting the immune system, and contributing to blood clotting processes. The total protein test is used to assess nutritional status, evaluate liver and kidney function, and detect certain chronic or inflammatory disorders. High or low total protein levels may indicate conditions such as dehydration, liver disease, kidney disease, or malnutrition.
