Specimen: Serum
Fasting: Not stated
LOINC: 1836-6
Turnaround: 3 - 6 days

Laboratory assay overview

Serum concentrations reflect the synthesis capacity of the liver and may indicate early malnutrition, acute and chronic hepatic disease, advanced chronic renal insufficiency, and cystic fibrosis. Assess nephritic syndrome and protein-losing enteropathy. Due to the short half-life of approximately 12 hours, RBP may be suitable for monitoring the nutritional status and efficacy of parenteral nutrition.1

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
