About the product
TP2 (Total Protein Gen.2, Roche code CPS_000257) is an in vitro diagnostic test used for the quantitative determination of total protein in human serum and plasma. The Roche product page defines the test for cobas c systems. A similar intended use is stated for COBAS INTEGRA systems.
Measured parameter and clinical significance
According to MedlinePlus, the total protein test measures the total amount of the two main types of protein in the fluid part of blood, albumin and globulins. Albumin helps keep fluid inside blood vessels and carries various substances in the blood. Globulins are part of the immune system. The test is often a component of the comprehensive metabolic panel and is used to assess nutritional, kidney and liver status.
According to MedlinePlus, a total protein above the reference value can be associated with chronic inflammation or infection, multiple myeloma and Waldenström disease. A low level is associated with conditions such as liver disease, kidney disease, malabsorption and malnutrition. An abnormal result does not establish a diagnosis on its own and is usually evaluated with additional tests.
