About this test

  • Unexplained weight loss or poor appetite
  • Muscle weakness or wasting
  • Slow wound healing or poor tissue repair
  • Dry or flaky skin
  • Abdominal bloating or fluid retention
  • Persistent or chronic infections
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes (in cases of liver dysfunction)
  • Changes in hair texture or thinning
  • No symptoms at all in early or mild abnormalities

Recommended for individuals experiencing fatigue, swelling, poor wound healing, or signs of malnutrition.

Also suitable for people recovering from illness, with unexplained weight loss, or anyone taking a proactive approach to monitoring protein status, liver function, and overall nutritional health—even if no symptoms are present.

  • Liver disease (e.g. cirrhosis, hepatitis, liver failure)
  • Kidney disease (e.g. nephrotic syndrome with protein loss)
  • Malnutrition or protein deficiency
  • Chronic inflammation or infection
  • Digestive conditions affecting protein absorption (e.g. coeliac disease, Crohn’s disease)
  • Oedema or fluid retention disorders
  • Wound healing problems or delayed recovery
  • Unexplained fatigue or weakness
  • Protein-losing enteropathy
  • Post-surgical or post-illness recovery monitoring
