A high total protein may be seen with dehydration or with certain chronic conditions. A high albumin is most often due to dehydration. A high globulin may be seen with chronic infection or inflammation and with some immune conditions. These are general associations, not a diagnosis, discuss your report with your doctor.
A low total protein may relate to nutrition, the liver, or the kidneys. A low albumin may relate to nutrition, chronic illness, or the liver or kidneys. A low globulin is uncommon and may relate to immune or kidney factors. A result outside the reference range should always be interpreted by your doctor in context.

Test details are for general information only and not a substitute for medical advice. Reference ranges vary between labs. Always discuss results with a registered medical practitioner before starting, stopping or changing any treatment.
What this test measures
The S. Proteins (Protein Fraction) reports the following parameters. These are this lab’s own reference ranges: the same ones your result is reported against, not a generic table. Adult values are shown; where a range differs by age, the range for your age is applied automatically when the result is released. Always read results with your doctor.
| Parameter | Reference range | Unit | Method | LOINC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Protein | 5.7 – 8.2 | g/dL | Biuret method | 2885-2 |
| Albumin | 3.1 – 5.1 | g/dL | BCG (Bromocresol Green) | 1751-7 |
| Globulin | 2.5 – 3.4 | g/dL | Derived from Total Protein and Albumin values | 2336-6 |
| Albumin / Globulin Ratio (A:G) | 1 – 2.1 | ratio | Derived from Albumin and Globulin values | 1759-0 |
Understanding your results
For the 3 parameters below, here is what a value outside the reference range may be associated with. These are general, textbook associations: a result outside the range is not a diagnosis on its own.
The organ that processes what you eat and drink, filters your blood and makes proteins. These markers are enzymes and pigments that rise when it is working hard or under strain.
| Parameter | If higher than range | If lower than range |
|---|---|---|
| Total Protein | A high total protein may be seen with dehydration or with certain chronic conditions. | A low total protein may relate to nutrition, the liver, or the kidneys. |
| Albumin | A high albumin is most often due to dehydration. | A low albumin may relate to nutrition, chronic illness, or the liver or kidneys. |
| Globulin | A high globulin may be seen with chronic infection or inflammation and with some immune conditions. | A low globulin is uncommon and may relate to immune or kidney factors. |
Reference ranges vary by laboratory, age, sex and method, and results must be interpreted together and in the context of your health. This information is educational and is not a diagnosis or medical advice, always discuss your report with your doctor.
