What is Alpha 1 Acid Glycoprotein?

The Alpha 1 Acid Glycoprotein test measures the level of a protein in your blood that increases in response to inflammation, infection, or tissue damage. It's considered an 'acute phase reactant' and provides insights into your body's inflammatory state.

Why is this test important?

This test is useful for monitoring inflammatory conditions, infections, and certain types of cancer. It can also help assess liver function and the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory treatments. Your doctor may use it to track disease activity or recovery.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
