Total Protein

The Total Protein blood test measures the total amount of protein in your blood. Proteins are important molecules that have various functions in the body, such as building and repairing tissues, transporting substances, and supporting immune function.

Sample Type: The test requires a small blood sample, typically obtained by drawing blood from a vein in your arm using a needle.

Normal Range: The normal range for total protein levels in the blood is generally between 6.0 to 8.3 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or 60 to 83 grams per liter (g/L). However, the specific range may vary slightly depending on the laboratory and the reference values they use.

Total Protein levels can provide valuable information about your overall health. Abnormal protein levels can indicate various conditions, including nutritional deficiencies, liver or kidney disease, inflammation, or certain cancers. If your test results fall outside the normal range, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate management.
