Total protein
Albumin and all the globulins added together -- essentially every protein circulating in your blood.
Albumin and all the globulins added together -- essentially every protein circulating in your blood.
It is a headline: the same total can be built from very different mixtures, which is what the electrophoresis fractions underneath it separate.
Read the split rather than the sum. A normal total with a low albumin and high globulins is a real finding that the total alone hides completely. It concentrates with dehydration like any other blood protein.
Worth reviewing with the protein fractions rather than on its own.
On a report in another language.
A lab report names this analyte in its own language. Vitals Vault recognises each of these and files them all under Total protein.
