It needs further tes: Excess of proteins in the blood can occur due to a number of medical conditions, some of which are infections or are of inflammatory in nature. Therefore, you should seek full evaluation to find the cause and confirm if this probelm is real or a lab error. An internist or hematologist can easily investigate this problem.
