Total protein determination is the determination of the concentration of all proteins in blood plasma. Proteins are the basic building blocks of all cells and tissues. They are important not only for body growth, but also perform a number of the following functions - transport of all substances insoluble in water, maintaining oncotic pressure in cells, maintaining proper blood pH.

Notice
Laboratory test results must always be interpreted in the context of the patient’s medical history, clinical condition, and the results of other laboratory and diagnostic tests. Deviations from normal values are not sufficient on their own to establish a diagnosis, and values within the normal range do not always mean that a disease is absent. It is advisable to consult a doctor about the results.

What interests you about the Total protein test?
What is total protein?
The so-called total protein test measures the total concentration of proteins in the blood. It is the sum of all blood proteins, both albumin and globulins. The liver has the largest share in the synthesis of these proteins. For healthy protein metabolism, a sufficient supply of protein in the diet is necessary. The value can be affected by the state of hydration; values increase with dehydration. The concentration of total protein in plasma is higher than in serum.
What does an elevated blood protein level mean?
An elevated blood protein level can be measured during dehydration (diarrhea, vomiting) or can be a consequence of diseases, e.g. some types of blood cancer, chronic inflammation or cirrhosis of the liver.
What to do if your urine protein level is elevated?
If you have elevated levels of protein in your urine, see your doctor. Your doctor will determine the next course of action based on the specific value and other laboratory and clinical data and examinations.
What should be the value of protein in urine?
If the value of protein in urine (using the protein/creatinine ratio parameters) is 15 g/mol or less, this is a normal finding. Values higher than 50 g/mol represent significant proteinuria, and severe proteinuria is calculated from a value of 100 g/mol and is associated with serious kidney disease. In general, it can be said that the range of 15-50 g/mol is mild proteinuria.[20][21]
What causes high levels of protein in the urine?
High levels of protein in the urine can be the first sign of liver disease or other diseases associated with an increased concentration of proteins in the blood that are not normally found in it (e.g. increased breakdown of red blood cells in the vessels and release of hemoglobin, release of myoglobin from the muscle when they break down). A urine protein test can help you detect damage or chronic kidney disease early.
