What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, swelling in your legs or belly, unintended weight changes, or you're just curious about your overall nutrition and organ health. It checks the protein levels in your blood, which can point to issues with your liver, kidneys, or diet. It's also useful if you've had recent illness, poor appetite, or digestive problems that might affect how well your body absorbs nutrients.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will be available in your account, with each value's normal range clearly explained so you know exactly where you stand. If your protein or albumin levels are outside the normal range, simple next steps like improving your diet, staying hydrated, or retesting in a few weeks are usually recommended, and if a value is significantly abnormal, seeking medical care promptly is advised. You can download a standard lab report directly from your account for your records. You'll also be able to track your results over time using the trends feature to see how your levels change.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone concerned about their nutrition, liver function, or kidney health should consider this test. It's especially useful for people with chronic illness, poor diet, unexplained swelling, or fatigue. It's also a smart choice if you want a baseline check of your overall health status.

How can I naturally support healthy protein levels?

Eating a balanced diet with enough lean protein sources like eggs, fish, beans, and poultry helps keep your protein and albumin levels steady. Staying well hydrated and limiting alcohol also supports healthy liver function, which plays a big role in protein production. Regular exercise and reducing chronic stress can further support your body's ability to maintain healthy nutrient levels.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days after your sample is processed at the lab. You'll get a notification once they're available in your secure online account. From there, you can review your values, download your report, and start tracking trends over time.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include unexplained swelling in the legs, ankles, or abdomen, persistent fatigue, poor appetite, or unexpected weight loss or gain. Frequent infections or slow wound healing can also be a clue that your protein levels need checking. If you've noticed any of these along with general unwellness, this test can offer helpful insight.

What does high total protein mean?

High total protein can sometimes point to dehydration, chronic inflammation, or certain conditions affecting your immune system. In many cases, simply drinking more water and retesting can clarify whether dehydration was the cause. If levels stay high after adjusting hydration, it's worth digging deeper into your diet and overall health habits.

What does low albumin mean?

Low albumin can suggest your liver isn't producing enough protein, your kidneys are losing protein, or your diet lacks sufficient protein and nutrients. It can also show up during periods of inflammation or illness. Improving your diet with more protein-rich foods and addressing any underlying health issues are good first steps.

How often should I retest?

If your levels are within the normal range and you feel well, retesting once a year as part of a general wellness check is usually enough. If your levels were abnormal, retesting every few weeks to months while you make lifestyle changes can help you track progress. Your trends feature makes it easy to see these changes over time.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

Start by reviewing the explanation provided with your results to understand what the abnormal value might mean. Small lifestyle changes like adjusting your diet, hydration, or activity level can often help bring levels back to normal. If your results are significantly out of range or you're feeling unwell, seek medical care promptly.
