About the test
The thymol test is a laboratory serum turbidity reaction historically used to indirectly assess changes in blood protein composition. The test involves a reaction between serum protein components and a reagent. In modern practice, the need for this test and its role in investigation should be clarified with the referring doctor and laboratory.
The test is nonspecific and does not independently confirm hepatitis or another liver disease. It does not replace individual modern measurements of liver function and injury. The doctor assesses the result together with symptoms, medical history and other investigations. The reference values of the individual laboratory are used for comparison, and changes over time are considered during follow-up.
Why it is ordered
- Perform an additional test specified by a doctor.
- Compare the result with other protein metabolism measurements.
