What blood test detects protein deficiency?
A doctor can perform a set of blood tests known as a total protein, albumin, and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio.

You are likely to suffer from liver disease, kidney disease or liver cell damage if your globulin or albumin levels are high.
An albumin blood test is used to check your general health and to see how well your liver and kidneys are working.
Low albumin levels can be a sign of liver or kidney disease or another medical condition. High levels may be a sign of dehydration.
Urine albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR), also known as urine microalbumin, helps identify kidney disease that can occur as a complication of diabetes.
A normal amount of albumin in your urine is less than 30 mg/g. Anything above 30 mg/g may mean you have kidney disease, even if your estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) number is above 60.
