Troponin is a term used to describe a complex of 3 specific proteins called troponin I (TnI), troponin C (TnC) and troponin T (TnT). The protein complex plays a vital role in allowing contraction of the cardiac and skeletal muscle. This is the reason why high levels of troponin, found via a troponin blood test,… Continue reading What is the Normal Troponin Range?

Normal Uric Acid Levels
Uric acid is a waste byproduct made during the process of purine breakdown by the body. Purine is a type of chemical that naturally occurs in the body. It is also present in some foods. The uric acid thus produced travels through the bloodstream, gets filtered by the kidneys, and eventually gets removed along with… Continue reading Normal Uric Acid Levels
Albumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR)
Albumin is a protein that circulates in the bloodstream and has many functions like maintaining the blood inside the vessels and preventing blood from leaking out of the vessels. Albumin also helps in carrying substances like medicines in the blood. It is essential for tissue growth and healing of tissue. During the process of filtering… Continue reading Albumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR)
Serum Protein Test
Serum protein is the amount of proteins present in blood plasma. In the blood plasma, protein is found in two forms namely albumin and globulin. Proteins in blood plasma have many functions such as transport of lipids, vitamins, hormones, and metals in body. They also help in regulating acellular activity. Moreover, proteins in blood plasma… Continue reading Serum Protein Test
