What this test measures

This section shows the biological marker/agent measured by this diagnostic test. Each marker/agent opens its own page with related conditions. Detailed reference ranges are shown separately in the Reference ranges and concentrations section below, so they are not repeated here.

Reference ranges and concentrations

These ranges are pulled from the existing EH diagnostic-test reference range tables. They can vary by laboratory, method, age, sex, sample type and clinical situation.

Biological marker/agent / concentration	Reference range	Unit	Age	Gender	Category / test group
Albumin (Blood)	4.4 – 5.4	gm/dL	Infant (0 - 1y)	Both	Blood Studies / Metabolism End Product
Albumin (Blood)	4 – 6	gm/dL	Child (0 - 16y)	Both	Blood Studies / Metabolism End Product
Albumin (Blood)	3.7 – 5.2	gm/dL	Adult ( > 16y)	Both	Blood Studies / Metabolism End Product
Albumin (Blood)	3.5 – 5.6	gm/dL	Birth - 2wks	Both	Blood Studies / Metabolism End Product
Alpha-1-Globulin (Blood, Serum)	0.1 – 0.3	gm/dL	All	Both	Blood Studies / Metabolism End Product
Alpha-2-Globulin (Blood, Serum)	0.6 – 1	gm/dL	All	Both	Blood Studies / Metabolism End Product
Beta Globulin	0.7 – 1.2	gm/dL	All	Both	Blood Studies / Metabolism End Product
Gamma Globulin (Blood, Serum)	0.8 – 1.7	gm/dL	All	Both	Blood Studies / Metabolism End Product
Protein, Total (Blood, Serum)	6 – 6.7	gm/dL	Infant (0 - 1y)	Both	Blood Studies / Metabolism End Product
Protein, Total (Blood, Serum)	6.1 – 8.2	gm/dL	Child (0 - 16y)	Both	Blood Studies / Metabolism End Product
Protein, Total (Blood, Serum)	6.2 – 8.1	gm/dL	Adult ( > 16y)	Both	Blood Studies / Metabolism End Product
Protein, Total (Blood, Serum)	4.5 – 7.4	gm/dL	Birth - 2wks	Both	Blood Studies / Metabolism End Product
