Generality
Protein is a blood chemistry parameter aimed at quantifying the total proteins present in the blood.
Normally, an adult in good health has a protein content of about 7 grams per deciliter of plasma (reference values 6.4 -8.3 g / dL).
What's this
- Proteinmia indicates the total amount of the various types of proteins present in the liquid (plasma) part of the blood.
- The concentration of proteins in the blood is usually relatively stable, reflecting a balance between the loss of old molecules and the production of new ones.
- Albumin and globulins together account for about 95% of circulating plasma proteins, which together make up about 7% of the blood.
