Total Protein
Total protein measures the combined concentration of albumin and globulin in blood. It provides a broad screen for nutritional status, liver function, kidney function, and immune system activity.
Abnormal total protein prompts further investigation into the albumin/globulin breakdown and A/G ratio.
What It Measures
Combined albumin and globulin protein concentration.
