Dashboard Orders & Results B2639727 Essential Proteins and Iron

Essential Proteins and Iron

Essential Proteins and Iron

These blood tests measure a number of important proteins found in the blood that are necessary for healthy bodily function, and iron which is required for red blood cell production. An increase or decrease in these protein levels can occur in kidney and liver disease, and abnormal iron or total iron binding capacity (TIBC) levels can be caused by iron deficiency or iron storage disorders.

Overview

Your results have been given a green flag as they are all within the recommended ranges. You can read more about what this means below.

Albumin

45

g/L

<= 29

30 - 33

34 - 50

51 - 60

>= 61

g/L

Albumin

Your albumin result has been given a green flag as it is within the recommended range. Albumin is the most abundant protein in the body. It is made by the liver and plays an important role in stopping fluid from leaking out of blood vessels. It also has a vital role in transporting substances such as hormones, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Decreased levels may occur in liver damage, malnutrition and inflammation. Increased levels may occur in dehydration or due to certain medications such as insulin.

Globulin

21

g/L

<= 14

15 - 18

19 - 35

36 - 40

>= 41

g/L

Globulin

Your globulin result has been given a green flag as it is within the recommended range. Globulins are a group of proteins found in the blood which include carrier proteins, enzymes and immunoglobulins. These proteins play a number of important roles in your body, including helping your blood to clot and fighting infection. Some globulins are produced in the liver (such as enzymes), while others are made by the immune system (such as antibodies). Very low globulin levels can sometimes be a sign of liver, bowel or kidney disorders. High levels can sometimes indicate dehydration, infection, inflammatory disease or immune disorders.

Protein (total)

66

g/L

<= 58

59 - 62

63 - 83

84 - 86

>= 87

g/L

Protein (total)

Your total protein result has been given a green flag as it is within the recommended range. Total protein is a measurement of all the proteins in the blood, including albumin, globulin and over 500 other proteins. These proteins are needed for growth and repair of tissues, bones, muscles and to make enzymes, hormones, and other important chemicals. Low total protein levels can sometimes suggest a liver or kidney disorder, problems with protein digestion and absorption, or due to medications such as oestrogens. High total protein levels can sometimes suggest dehydration, some types of cancer (like multiple myeloma), or due to medications (for example insulin, progesterone, androgens, anabolic steroids, growth hormone). Consuming protein-rich foods like seeds, nuts, soy products, eggs, lean meat, beans and legumes can help you maintain healthy protein levels.

Iron

28.1

umol/L

<= 7.9

8.0 - 10.5

10.6 - 28.3

28.4 - 33.0

>= 33.1

umol/L

Iron

Your iron result has been given a green flag as it is within the recommended range. Iron is an important micronutrient obtained from the diet. It's main purpose is for the production of red blood cells, which transport oxygen from your lungs around your body. Most people can get sufficient iron by consuming iron-rich foods such as dark green leafy vegetables (like spinach), eggs, beans, whole grains, seafood and poultry. Low levels of iron lead to anaemia and high levels of iron can accumulate in the body and become toxic, causing damage to the liver, heart and joints.

Total Iron binding capacity (TIBC)

50

umol/L

<= 32

33 - 40

41 - 77

78 - 85

>= 86

umol/L

Total Iron binding capacity (TIBC)

Your Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) result has been given a green flag as it is within the recommended range. TIBC is a measure of the capacity of your blood to bind and transport iron, and therefore reflects your body's total iron stores. TIBC correlates with the amount of a protein called transferrin in your blood, which regulates your iron stores. Low TIBC is found in haemochromatosis (iron overload) and chronic illness, whereas high TIBC is found in iron deficiency.
