What is the Serum Proteins Test?
The Serum Proteins test measures the total amount of protein in your blood, along with the levels of specific proteins like albumin and globulin. Proteins play a crucial role in various bodily functions, including immune response, tissue repair, and maintaining fluid balance. This test is commonly used to evaluate overall health, detect nutritional deficiencies, and diagnose or monitor conditions affecting the liver, kidneys, and immune system.

Purpose of the Serum Proteins Test:

1. Assess Nutritional Status:

   • Evaluates protein levels to detect malnutrition or protein deficiencies.

2. Diagnose Liver and Kidney Disorders:

   • Helps identify liver diseases (like cirrhosis and hepatitis) and kidney disorders that affect protein levels.

3. Monitor Immune System Disorders:

   • Detects abnormalities in globulins, which are part of the immune system, useful in diagnosing conditions like multiple myeloma or autoimmune diseases.

4. Evaluate Chronic Inflammatory Conditions:

   • Used to assess inflammation, infection, or chronic illnesses that can alter protein levels in the blood.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).

Preparation for the Test:

• Fasting: Fasting is generally not required for the Serum Proteins test unless specified by your healthcare provider.
• Medications: Inform your healthcare provider about any medications, supplements, or dietary habits, as these can impact protein levels.

Collection Method:

• A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle. The sample is then analyzed in the laboratory to measure total protein, albumin, globulin, and calculate the albumin-to-globulin (A/G) ratio.
