Investigation |
Total serum protein is measured as part of the standard liver profile. Albumin, immunoglobulins, and transferrin represent the three most abundant proteins in human serum. Altered serum protein levels are seen in liver disease (decreased synthesis of protein) and kidney disease (protein loss through proteinuria). Factors such as nutrition and fluid status can also impact total serum protein. |
