Globulin

CalculatedFiller

Total protein minus albumin.

Subtraction, though the result does carry some information about immune activity.

This one isn’t a test

Globulin = Total Protein − Albumin

No extra sample was taken for this and no extra assay was run. It is arithmetic on numbers already on your report — but it still adds a line to the advertised test count.

Computed from Total Protein and Albumin.

That does not make the number useless — eGFR is calculated and doctors act on it every day. It means it should not be counted as a separate test when you are comparing what a package costs.

Calculated from this result

Once a lab has this measurement, these lines cost it nothing to add.
