About the test
This test focuses on measuring the total protein and albumin levels in your plasma.

This test may be recommended if you are experiencing symptoms that could indicate a problem with your liver, kidneys, or nutritional status. These symptoms include:
- Unexplained weight loss
- Weakness or tiredness
- Swelling in your legs, ankles, or abdomen
- Changes in appetite
Included biomarkers & Reference ranges
| Biomarker | Reference range |
|---|---|
| Albumin The main protein made by your liver, which helps balance fluids and carries hormones, vitamins, and medications through your blood. Low levels can point to liver, kidney, or nutrition issues. | 3.6–5.1 g/dL |
| Albumin/Globulin Ratio Compares your two main blood protein types, albumin and globulin. An abnormal ratio can point toward liver disease, kidney problems, or immune system conditions. | 1–2.5 Ratio |
| Globulin A group of blood proteins that includes antibodies and various transport proteins. Assessed together with albumin to evaluate liver, kidney, and immune function. | 1.9–3.7 g/dL |
| Total Protein The combined amount of all proteins in your blood, mainly albumin and globulins, used to help evaluate liver, kidney, and nutritional status. | 6.1–8.1 g/dL |
