Preparation for the examination
General
- The material for testing is blood.
- The patient does not need to fast. It is recommended to drink a glass of water approximately 30 minutes before the examination.
Important
Factors that may affect test results: gammapathies, particularly IgM (Waldenström's macroglobulinemia), dyslipidemia. Taking medications, supplements, or other substances: dextran in therapeutic concentrations, azlocillin, and doxorubicin.
Note:
Dehydration, diet, alcohol, intense exercise, or sample collection method may also affect results. Results should be considered in conjunction with other data, such as clinical symptoms, results of other tests, or clinical diagnosis.

Description
Total protein includes all blood proteins. Protein separation is possible thanks to protein electrophoresis.
Due to the ability of proteins to bind water, discrepancies in protein amounts may result from altered hydration (in which case the hematocrit is changed).
The significance of the test: information about the total amount of protein in the body, indicates kidney damage (proteinuria).
Abnormal values: liver disease, extreme malnutrition, kidney disease.
Factors that may influence the test result:
High protein concentrations may be observed in cases of severe dehydration.
Low protein levels may be caused by conditions such as nephrotic syndrome, massive bleeding, impaired protein absorption, severe burns, salt retention syndromes, and acute protein malnutrition.

The test is performed using a spectrophotometric method.
Ordering the test constitutes consent to its execution using this method.
