What is Globulin Protein Electrophoresis and Total Protein?
Globulin protein electrophoresis is a test that separates and measures the different types of globulin proteins in the blood. These proteins are essential for the immune system and for transporting substances such as iron and hormones throughout the body. The Total Protein test measures the total amount of protein in the blood, including albumin and globulins.
Why should you have Globulin Protein Electrophoresis and Total Protein tested?
These tests are useful for evaluating nutritional status, kidney and liver function, and for detecting certain diseases such as autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, and certain forms of cancer. It can also help in assessing overall health status.
What does it indicate?
The quantity and ratio of the different globulins and the total protein content can provide indications regarding the presence of inflammation, infections, liver diseases, and the function of the immune system.
What does a high globulin and protein level mean?
A high level of globulins may indicate chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, or liver diseases. A high total protein content may suggest dehydration or other medical conditions.
What does a low globulin and protein level mean?
A low level may indicate poor nutritional status, kidney diseases where proteins are lost, or liver diseases. It may also suggest reduced immunity.
