Question 1

what does low protein in your blood mean?

Accepted Answer

Find cause: This may be as simple as a protein-poor diet (some of the fad / "green" diets can do this), or reflect low Albumin from liver disease, kidney protein wasting (nephrotic syndrome), myeloma, inflammatory bowel syndrome, or any of a host of illnesses. And some folks just genetically make little albumin. Good luck; a lab value means nothing out of context.

Urine findings: You have two major problems with your urine analysis. One is trace blood and the other is your protein in your urine.

Question 10

hi, i had blood work done at our local health fair, and my results came today.  they indicate that i have an 8.5 total protein.  what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

No worries.: Blood contains proteins in it and they serve very important purpose. There is an upper limit for the proteins to be in the blood and it is usually from 6 o 8.3.

Your result is a tad bit higher than upper limit and does not warrant any specific worry.

If you are concerned then get it checked again through your Physician and not to worry. Good luck.
