GLOBULIN
The Globulin test measures the level of globulin proteins in the blood, which are an important group of proteins involved in immune function, inflammation, and transport of nutrients. Globulins include antibodies (immunoglobulins) that help the body fight infections and protect against diseases.
Abnormal globulin levels may indicate various health conditions. High globulin levels can be seen in chronic infections, inflammatory diseases, liver disorders, or certain blood disorders like multiple myeloma. Low globulin levels may be associated with weakened immunity, liver or kidney disease, or protein deficiency. This test is often evaluated along with total protein and albumin to assess overall protein balance and health.
The Globulin test is simple and requires a small blood sample. Accurate results help doctors diagnose immune-related conditions, monitor liver and kidney function, and guide appropriate treatment for better health management.
