About this test

Everything you need to know about Globulin Blood Test

The proteins in your blood fall into two main groups. Albumin, made by the liver, keeps fluid inside your blood vessels and carries hormones, medicines and nutrients. Globulins are a mixed family that includes the antibodies your immune system makes, along with transport and clotting proteins. Total protein is the two added together.

Looking at all three — and at the balance between albumin and globulin — gives a broad signal about nutrition, liver health, hydration and immune activity. A raised globulin can reflect ongoing inflammation or infection and occasionally points to a condition that needs a specific follow-up test, so any result outside the range is explained by our clinical team with the sensible next step.

Who it's for

  • A broader check alongside liver or kidney tests
Important: A home test is not a diagnosis on its own. Where something needs looking at, we tell you what it means and what to do next. If you are unwell now, please see your GP or call 111 rather than waiting for a kit.

Frequently Asked

Globulin Blood Test — FAQs

What can a high globulin mean?
Most often, an immune system responding to infection or inflammation. Less commonly it reflects liver disease, or a condition in which one type of antibody is overproduced, which needs a specific follow-up test. Our clinician tells you whether your result needs repeating or a conversation with your GP.
What can a low albumin or total protein mean?
It can reflect a low protein intake, liver or kidney problems or ongoing illness, and it can be affected by hydration. It is interpreted alongside your other results and how you are feeling.
Is this the same as a liver test?
Albumin is part of a liver test, but liver tests also measure liver enzymes and bilirubin. If your aim is to check your liver, Essential Liver is the better kit.
How does the kit reach me?
We post it to your address anywhere in the UK as soon as your order is paid, and email you when it has been dispatched. Delivery is free on every home blood test kit. Everything you need to collect your sample and send it back is in the box.
How do I collect the sample?
Your kit contains everything you need and step-by-step instructions. Read them through first, collect at the time of day this test needs (see the preparation note above), label the sample and pack it in the return packaging provided.
When should I post my sample back?
On the day you collect it, Monday to Thursday, and not the day before a bank holiday — so it reaches the laboratory quickly and does not sit in the post over a weekend. A sample that arrives too old may not be able to be analysed.
Can I order several kits at once?
Yes. Use “Add to order” on each kit and then “Order” in the bar at the bottom — they go into one order and one payment and are posted together. Clinic blood tests are booked separately, because they need an appointment rather than an address.
How do I pay?
Home kit orders are paid by bank transfer. When you place your order we show our bank details and your payment reference on screen and by email, and we post your kit as soon as the payment reaches us.
How do I get my results?
Once the laboratory has analysed your sample, your results are released to your secure account with a written explanation from our clinical team, and a call where something needs talking through. Turnaround depends on the test and starts when the laboratory receives your sample.
