What is Alpha 2 Macroglobulin Serum?

The Alpha 2 Macroglobulin Serum test measures the level of a large protein found in your blood. This protein plays a role in various bodily functions, including inhibiting certain enzymes and transporting hormones.

Why is this test important?

Elevated levels of Alpha 2 Macroglobulin can indicate conditions like nephrotic syndrome, a kidney disorder where large amounts of protein are lost in urine. It can also be used to assess liver disease or other protein-losing conditions, helping doctors monitor organ health.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
