Measures thyroid hormones to assess metabolic regulation and thyroid gland function.
Protein blood tests measure the levels of specific proteins in your blood, most commonly albumin and globulin. Albumin is the most abundant protein in your blood, produced by the liver, and plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance and transporting hormones, vitamins, and medications. Low albumin can indicate liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, or chronic inflammation. Globulins include antibodies (immunoglobulins) that fight infection, transport proteins, and clotting factors. The albumin-to-globulin (A/G) ratio provides additional diagnostic information about liver and immune system function.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
People with suspected liver or kidney disease. Anyone with chronic illness, poor nutrition, or unexplained swelling (edema). Patients being monitored for conditions that affect protein levels. Those with abnormal liver or kidney function test results who need further investigation.
What's Included
Preparation Required
Fasting for 10–12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate results (water is fine). Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and intense exercise for 12 hours before the blood draw. Morning appointments are ideal for consistent hormone and glucose readings. The blood draw typically takes 5–10 minutes.
