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.

    WHAT ARE THE 20 WARNING SIGNS OF DIABETES?

    Diabetes often develops gradually, with early warning signs that can be subtle and easy to miss. Many symptoms overlap with everyday issues such as stress, dehydration, or tiredness, which is why diabetes frequently goes undiagnosed until blood sugar levels have been high for some time. Recognising these warning signs early can help prevent complications and support timely intervention.

    If you have been feeling more tired than usual, struggling with cravings, or noticing changes in your weight that are hard to explain, you may have come across the idea of testing your insulin levels. A fasting insulin blood test is one of the ways to look at how your body is managing sugar and energy, often before other signs become obvious. This article explains what a fasting insulin test actually measures, what your results can tell you, and what steps to consider next. If you would like to check your own levels, you can book a fasting insulin blood test through One Day Tests, with no GP referral needed and results usually available within 24 to 48 hours.
