Protein, Total – Covington, LA

Abnormal total protein levels can manifest in diverse symptoms. Low levels (hypoproteinemia) may result in swelling, weakness, and heightened vulnerability to infections. Conversely, high levels (hyperproteinemia) could lead to dehydration-related symptoms, nausea, and potential associations with underlying medical conditions. A total protein test assesses blood protein concentrations, primarily albumin and globulins, offering critical insights into one’s health. Timely interpretation can guide medical decisions, ensuring appropriate management and overall well-being.
