Get more info: Both results show that you need to work with a doctor to find out causes and address the issues. The protein in your blood is made by your liver. Low protein can come from nutritional deficiencies or a liver problem: http://www.M.Webmd.Com/a-to-z-guides/total-serum-protein. A high MCV happens when blood cells are not made properly. The most common cause is vitamin B12 deficiency.
