Protein, Total

Abnormal total protein levels in the blood can present in different ways. Low protein levels (hypoproteinemia) may cause swelling, weakness, and a higher risk of infections. On the other hand, high protein levels (hyperproteinemia) can lead to dehydration-related symptoms, nausea, and may be linked to underlying medical conditions.

The Total Protein Test measures the concentration of proteins in the blood, primarily albumin and globulins, to provide important insights into your overall health.

Timely evaluation and interpretation of total protein results help healthcare providers make informed medical decisions, guiding treatment strategies and supporting well-being. Regular monitoring with this protein blood test ensures early detection of imbalances and better health management.
