GLOBULIN

Globulins, a vital group of proteins produced in the liver by the immune system, play essential roles in liver function, blood clotting, and immune response. They encompass alpha, beta, and gamma globulins, evaluated through tests like the total protein test and serum protein electrophoresis. The former measures overall blood protein levels, aiding in identifying liver or kidney diseases. The latter offers a detailed analysis of protein types, providing insights into immune system functionality, autoimmune disorders, and conditions like multiple myeloma. Crucial for diagnosing liver damage, kidney issues, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, and various cancers, globulin tests, including serum globulin electrophoresis, are pivotal for Hypro Diagnostics. Healthcare providers may prescribe these tests as part of routine check-ups, symptom-specific investigations, or for monitoring liver and kidney health. Symptoms indicative of liver disease, such as nausea, fatigue, jaundice, and abdominal swelling, prompt the incorporation of globulin tests in liver function assessments, contributing to early diagnosis and effective management of diverse health conditions.
