The Fortress Diagnostics Total Protein test is intended for determination of total protein in serum or plasma. Measurements of Total Protein are used in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases involving the liver, kidney or bone marrow, as well as other metabolic and nutritional disorders.

Lower than normal levels can be associated with many disease states including severe protein deficiency, chronic liver disease and malnutrition.
