If my protein level was a 9.7 is that because i ate too much protein?

What fluid?: WE can check protein levels in all sorts of body fluids: urine and blood mainly, but there are other places too. Also, check the normal range of the particular lab you are using. Re-ask with the details, of source of fluid and lab normal range for protein.

Protein: an excessive protein intake can certainly change your blood protein levels but these usually adjust to normal rapidly.i would repeat the level in 4 weeks and if you are still worried discus it with your doctor
