General Information:
Globulins are a group of blood proteins secreted by the liver and immune system. They play a crucial role in liver function, blood clotting, and fighting infections. Globulins are categorized into four groups: alpha-1, alpha-2, gamma, and beta. These proteins contribute to immune defense and prevent excessive blood clotting.

  • Sample Type: Venous blood.
  • Fasting for 8–14 hours is recommended before the test.
  • Alternatively, the test can be performed 4 hours after consuming a light meal.
  • Avoid physical and emotional stress, as well as alcohol, before the test.
  • Liver damage or diseases.
  • Kidney damage.
  • Autoimmune diseases.
  • Nutritional deficiencies.
  • Certain types of cancer.
  • Symptoms like:
    • Jaundice.
    • Itching.
    • Unexplained weight gain.
    • Fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity.
    • Vomiting or nausea.
  • Globulin
