Protein Total Test at Home in Dubai
Also known as: TOTAL PROTEIN, TP
Included
About the Test
Total protein measures the combined amount of the two main protein groups in your blood, albumin and globulins, which reflect nutrition, liver and kidney function and hydration. It is a common part of a liver or general metabolic panel. High or low results can point toward liver disease, kidney problems, poor nutrition or dehydration, prompting your doctor to look further. It is used both in routine panels and to follow up symptoms.
What is it? A blood test, also called total protein or TP, measuring the combined level of albumin and globulin proteins in your blood.

Protein Total test: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the Protein Total test?
- Assess overall liver and kidney function as part of a routine metabolic panel
- Help investigate symptoms such as swelling, fatigue or unexplained weight loss
- Give a general indicator of nutritional status and hydration
How to prepare for the Protein Total test
No fasting is required for total protein on its own. If it is part of a wider panel that includes a lipid or fasting glucose test, follow the fasting instructions your doctor gives for that panel.
Understanding your Protein Total results
A high or low total protein can reflect liver conditions, kidney issues, nutrition or hydration, so the result is read together with albumin, globulin and the rest of your panel. Discuss any abnormal value with your doctor. Reports are ready in 8 Hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

It measures the combined level of albumin and globulins in your blood. Together these reflect liver and kidney function, nutrition and hydration, which is why it appears on many routine liver and metabolic panels.
Total protein alone does not need fasting. If your doctor has bundled it with a lipid or fasting glucose test, follow the fasting instructions for that combined panel instead.
Total protein results are ready in 8 Hours. A doctor-reviewed report is delivered to your WhatsApp and email so you can review it or share it with your physician.
A high level can relate to dehydration or certain immune conditions, while a low level may reflect liver or kidney problems or poor nutrition. It is always interpreted with albumin and your other results by a doctor.
Yes. Being dehydrated can raise total protein because the blood is more concentrated. Staying normally hydrated before your draw helps give a representative result. Mention any recent illness to our nurse.
The total protein test is 25 AED, self-pay, and we do not handle insurance. Home collection is available across Dubai with same-morning or next-day appointments.
