Reference values vary from laboratory to laboratory, but can generally be found within the following ranges: Total protein: 6.4-8.3 g/dL; albumin: 3.5-5.0 g/dL; globulin: 2.3-3.4 g/dL.
Protein components tests measure the amounts and types of protein in the blood.
Normal results for a Bence Jones protein test should show no detectable levels of Bence Jones protein in the urine, indicating a healthy kidney function and no abnormal protein excretion. If Bence Jones protein is present in the urine, further investigation may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
The normal blood protein range for a total protein test is typically between 6.0 to 8.3 grams per deciliter (g/dL). This test measures the total amount of protein in the blood, including albumin and globulin. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for interpretation of your specific results.
Normal results will be negative, showing no antinuclear antibodies.

The results of the cold agglutinins test require a doctor's interpretation. In general, however, a normal value is lower than 1:32.
The meaning of a medical test result being lower than normal depends entirely on what medical test result it is. For some results, being lower than normal is not a big deal, or even a good thing; for some results it can be a very big deal, depending on how much lower than normal it is.

The indicator used to test for protein hydrolysis that results in a yellow color is phenol red. In an alkaline environment due to the release of ammonia from protein breakdown, phenol red changes from red to yellow, indicating a positive test for protein hydrolysis.
For protein electrophoresis, a clear or colorless test tube is typically used. This allows for easy visualization of the protein bands after electrophoresis is complete. Any other colored test tube could interfere with accurate observation and analysis of the results.
A normal result of an exercise stress test shows normal electrocardiogram tracings and heart rate, blood pressure within the normal range, and no angina, unusual dizziness, or shortness of breath.
