Purpose of the Total Protein Test. A total protein test is completed as part of your routine health checkup. Itâs one of the tests that make up your comprehensive medical panel (CMP). The total protein test measures the total amount of protein in your blood and specifically looks for the amount of albumin and globulin.
A total protein test and an albumin serum test can measure the amounts of blood proteins. Total protein tests measure your ratio of albumin to globulin, and albumin serum tests are ordered by your doctor when you have symptoms such as edema. While the normal range level for total protein can be between 6.0 and 8.3 g/dL, the albumin normal level can range between 3.4 to 5.4 g/dL, according to MedlinePlus. A blood test that shows low levels of albumin can be an indication of liver damage or disease.
