NOTES FROM THE LAB

Hello! My name is Jamila Quaye and I am a senior biomedical scientist with a specialism in haematology, here at One Day Tests laboratory.

Globulin - description and reference ranges

What is it?

Globulins are round-shaped proteins produced by your liver. Globulin proteins include carrier proteins, enzymes, immunoglobulins (antibodies), and other proteins.

They transport nutrients and fight infection. Globulins are proteins that do not fall into the albumins and are calculated by subtracting Albumin level from Total Protein measure. These measures are used in the investigation of autoimmune diseases, infections and cancers, as well as liver and kidney diseases.

Reference ranges

If your indicative globulin calculation is lower than the reference range for our laboratory:

Generaly, low globulin can be caused by a kidney disease or liver disease, immune deficiency or malnutrition and substantial lack of nutrients in the diet, among other causes.

You can discuss this result with your GP.

If your indicative globulin calculation is higher than the reference range for our laboratory:

Generally, high globulin level can be a sign of an infection (viral, as well as bacterial), inflammatory or immune disorder as well as some cancers.

You should discuss this result with your GP.

    CAN A BLOOD TEST SHOW INSULIN LEVELS?

    Many people know that blood tests can measure glucose levels, but fewer realise that insulin itself can also be measured through a blood test. An insulin blood test measures the amount of insulin circulating in your bloodstream and can provide valuable information about how your body is managing blood sugar. This type of testing may help investigate insulin resistance, assess diabetes risk, explore possible causes of low blood sugar, and support the diagnosis of certain metabolic conditions.

    WHAT IS CONSIDERED A HIGH PTAU LEVEL?

    As blood testing for Alzheimer’s disease becomes more widely discussed, many people are asking what a “high” pTau level actually means. In simple terms, a high pTau level means the amount of phosphorylated tau protein detected in the blood is above the laboratory’s normal reference range. Elevated levels are associated with Alzheimer’s related brain changes, particularly abnormal tau tangles and amyloid plaque buildup.
