Urgently take a test for protein fractions (protein fractions, albumins, globulins, alpha-1-globulins, alpha-2-globulins, beta-globulins, gamma-globulins, a/g ratio) in Kyiv, Med-Help clinic
If you have been assigned to take a protein fraction test at the Med-Help clinic in Kyiv, you need to know how to properly prepare for this process.
What are protein fractions?
Protein fractions are the different types of proteins found in the blood. They include albumins, globulins, alpha-1 globulins, alpha-2 globulins, beta globulins, and gamma globulins. The a/g ratio is the ratio between the amount of albumins and globulins in the blood. Protein fraction analysis is used to diagnose a wide range of diseases, such as liver disease, immune system disease, infections, etc.

- Tell your doctor about all medications you are taking.
What is the procedure for taking a protein fraction analysis?
Analysis of protein fractions is performed from venous blood. Before taking blood, the puncture site is treated with an antiseptic, then the vein is stitched with a special needle, and the required amount of blood is taken from it. After this, the injection site is treated and a sterile bandage is applied.
How to get the analysis results?
The results of the analysis of protein fractions can be obtained at the Med-Help clinic in Kyiv when they are ready. The time of receiving the results may vary depending on the complexity of the analysis and the number of other studies.
Don’t be nervous if the results are unusual or do not correspond to normal values. Try not to draw your own conclusions and contact the doctor who ordered the test to analyze the results and establish further diagnostics or treatment.
