The Protein - Total with Albumin test measures the total protein content in your blood, focusing on two key proteins: albumin and globulin. Albumin, produced by the liver, is vital for regulating blood volume and transporting crucial substances, while globulins, created by the liver and immune system, assist in fighting infections and transporting nutrients. This test is used to diagnose and monitor liver and kidney conditions like cirrhosis and nephrotic syndrome and to identify nutritional deficiencies. If you have symptoms such as swelling in your legs, abdomen, fatigue, weight loss, jaundice, or blood in your urine, this test might be necessary.
