The total protein TP test measures all types of protein in the blood. There are two main types are protein found in blood Albumin and globulin. Proteins are important for health, Protein grow the body’s cells and tissues. Blood contains albumin and globulin. Two Major Types of Protein are
Albumin: Albumin helps prevent fluid from leaking out of the blood vessels. Albumin is made by the liver. Albumin also helps Harmons, Vitamins, medicines, and other important substances throughout the body.
Globulin: Globulin is an important part of your immune system. Globulin fights infections. Some globulin is made by the liver, and others are made by the immune system.
Is This Have Other Name
Total Protein, TP, Albumin, Globulin
How The Test Performed
A blood sample is needed, and a Urine sample.
Why The Test Performed
Albumin and Globulin are two major types of protein in your body. Proteins are important to build the blocks of all cells and tissues. Proteins are necessary for your body’s growth, development, and health. Globulin proteins important role in your immune system. If TP is more than high for normal values then you need to have more tests to look for the exact problem. Total Protein test to help diagnose several health conditions, kidney diseases, liver diseases, and malnutrition.
