The Total Protein test is a vital diagnostic tool in health heart diagnostics (HHD). It is frequently abbreviated as TP and occasionally incorrectly referred to as PRL (usually used for Prolactin). This test calculates the blood’s total protein content, which includes the albumin and globulin fractions. Blood protein levels are important markers of organ function and nutritional status. They can also be critical for evaluating general health, which includes cardiovascular health.

Increased or decreased total protein intake may have an impact on heart health. Low protein levels, for example, may indicate liver illness, kidney disease, or malnourishment. These conditions can all impact cardiovascular health indirectly by changing blood pressure, volume, and vessel function. On the other hand, elevated levels could suggest circumstances such
