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.

When albumin levels are high the body is usually severely dehydrated.
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.
Typically, your blood albumin levels will rise if you have microalbuminuria.
Higher albumin levels may be caused by acute infections, burns, and stress from surgery or a heart attack.
