Order Total Glutathione TestThe Total Glutathione Test measures the combined amount of glutathione present in a blood sample. Glutathione is a small molecule built from three amino acids and is involved in antioxidant defense, detoxification, and the maintenance of cellular redox balance. Because the test reports total glutathione rather than separating its forms, it reflects the overall pool available in the specimen.
About Total Glutathione Test in Orem
Glutathione is often described as the body's principal non-enzymatic antioxidant. Its measurement is used in research and clinical settings to assess oxidative stress and related metabolic activity.
Glutathione exists in two principal forms: reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione disulfide (GSSG). The Total Glutathione Test reports the sum of both forms, which is why the result is described as total rather than as a single fraction.
Specimens for this test are typically collected in a tube appropriate for the assay, and the sample must be handled according to the laboratory's instructions. Because glutathione can change after collection, proper processing and timely transport are important for a reliable measurement.
Results are reported as a concentration in the specimen, and the laboratory's reference interval provides the context for interpretation. A total glutathione value on its own does not diagnose a specific condition; it is one piece of information that a healthcare provider evaluates alongside the clinical picture and other laboratory findings.
