Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

Think of the Total Protein test as your body's protein report card – it measures all the different proteins floating in your bloodstream, kind of like counting all the workers in a busy factory to see how well everything is running. Your blood contains two main types of proteins: albumin, which your liver makes like a dedicated assembly line, and globulins, which include your immune system's security guards (antibodies) and other important helpers that keep your body functioning smoothly.

When your total protein levels are off, it's like getting a warning light on your car's dashboard – something needs attention. Low levels might signal that your liver isn't producing enough proteins, you're not getting adequate nutrition, or your kidneys are letting too much protein slip away. High levels could indicate your immune system is working overtime fighting an infection or dealing with chronic inflammation. This simple blood test gives your doctor valuable clues about your liver health, nutritional status, immune system activity, and overall well-being, making it especially useful if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, swelling, or other symptoms that might point to protein-related issues.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with liver concerns, nutritional issues, kidney problems, or anyone needing comprehensive protein and metabolic status evaluation.

Questions

  • Total protein measures the combined amount of albumin and globulins in blood, reflecting liver function, nutritional status, immune activity, and overall protein metabolism.
  • High levels may indicate dehydration, chronic infections, inflammatory diseases, or certain blood disorders, requiring further evaluation to determine the specific cause.
  • Low levels may suggest liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, protein loss, or chronic illness, potentially affecting immune function and healing.
  • Total protein is the sum of albumin and globulins; measuring these separately provides more specific information about liver function and immune status.
  • Yes, dehydration can artificially elevate total protein levels by concentrating the blood, while overhydration can dilute protein concentrations.
  • Liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, chronic infections, inflammatory conditions, and certain cancers can all significantly affect total protein levels.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of all medications, recent illnesses, and dietary factors that might affect protein levels.

After the test

Address abnormal total protein through evaluation for underlying liver, kidney, or nutritional disorders, appropriate treatments for identified conditions, dietary modifications, and regular monitoring.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show total protein levels compared to normal ranges. Abnormal levels may indicate liver disease, kidney problems, nutritional issues, or other conditions requiring further evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most collection centres accept walk-ins. Some may require a booking - check details when you click on your chosen location.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)

Of course. Just maybe don’t bring the friend who faints at the sight of blood.

They’re the highly trained professionals who take your blood sample - with a steady hand and a sharp needle. They love blood, but don’t worry… they’re not vampires. Just legends who make blood tests quick, clean, and (almost) painless.

Some of our tests include Urine, Stool, Saliva and more. Each test will have a clear description on what sample you will need to give and instructions on how.
