A total protein test is used to measure the proteins in your blood, specifically albumin and globulin. Your GP may suggest it if they suspect you have a liver or kidney disorder.

Total protein excretion can be measured in a 24-h collection or can be estimated by the protein/creatinine ratio, which, in a random urine sample, correlates well with values in g/1.

Albumin and total protein. Protein is needed to build and maintain muscles, bones, blood, and organ tissue. Sometimes when there's a problem with the liver, it can't make proteins as well, so protein levels decrease.
