Measurement of specific alpha- or beta- globulins aids in the diagnosis of many diseases, such as Wilson's disease (an inherited disease affecting the liver and brain), Tangier's disease (absence of alpha- 1-lipoprotein), malnutrition, iron deficiency anemia, red blood cell disorders, and kidney disease.
