Total serum protein

Total serum protein is the most abundant substance in serum solids. It has many functions such as maintaining the normal colloid osmotic pressure and pH in the blood vessels, transporting various metabolites, and regulating the physiological effects of the transported substances, and has a close relationship with the body's immune function. Serum total protein levels mainly reflect the liver's synthetic function and kidney disease caused by protein loss. Total protein testing can indirectly understand the body's nutritional status and assist in the diagnosis of certain diseases.
