What is a PROTEIN TOTAL SERUM?

The Protein Total Serum test is a routine blood examination that measures the total amount of proteins present in the blood, including albumin and globulin. Proteins are vital for maintaining fluid balance, supporting immune function, and transporting nutrients throughout the body. Doctors recommend this test to evaluate overall health, detect liver or kidney disorders, and investigate nutritional status. Since no special preparation is required, it is a simple yet important tool for assessing metabolic and organ function.
