PREALBUMIN Test – Genetic Lab, DNA Labs UAE
The PREALBUMIN test, also known as transthyretin (TTR) test, is a blood test that measures the levels of prealbumin in the body. Prealbumin is a protein produced by the liver and is involved in transporting thyroid hormones and vitamin A in the blood.
This test is primarily used to assess a person’s nutritional status and to monitor the effectiveness of nutritional support in individuals who are malnourished or undergoing treatment for certain medical conditions. Low levels of prealbumin may indicate malnutrition, liver disease, kidney disease, chronic inflammation, or other underlying health issues.
The PREALBUMIN test is often used in combination with other nutritional markers, such as albumin and total protein, to provide a more comprehensive assessment of a person’s nutritional status. It can also be used to monitor the progress of a person’s nutritional status over time.
The test involves drawing a blood sample from a vein in the arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few days.
It is important to note that the PREALBUMIN test is not a stand-alone diagnostic tool and should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical information and test results. It is typically ordered by a healthcare provider and used as part of a larger assessment of a person’s overall health and nutritional status.
