Total Protein (TP) Testing

How to check your Total Protein levels with a home fingerprick blood test kit

What Is A Total Protein Test For?

A Total Protein test is also known as an Albumin to Globulin Ratio test.

Proteins are absorbed from foods and are vital parts of all cells and tissues. They are used to build muscles, skin, blood, bones and cartilage as well as making enzymes, hormones and other essential chemicals.

The total protein test measures the blood levels of two different classes of proteins; albumin and globulin.

Abnormal levels can result from liver or kidney disorders.

Several serious conditions can lead to an accumulation of abnormal protein so further investigation is recommended.
