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.
Specifically, the test checks for albumin levels and total protein levels. 1  Albumin: Albumin is a small protein made in the liver that constitutes the major protein in blood serum. 2  Total Protein: In addition to albumin, your blood serum also contains a protein called globulin. In fact, globulin is actually a class of proteins that includes enzymes, antibodies, and hundreds of other proteins. A total protein test measures the combined amount of these proteins in your blood.
