Low protein on blood work

Common Questions and Answers about Low protein on blood work

protein

I just got a blood test back by mail stating that my Blood Protein (ALB) was at the upper level of normal (47). Anyone out there know what makes it go higher and lower and what being at the upper level means? Anything I can do to lower it? What does the ALB stand for? Other than ALTS all other liver related tests were normal.

I have not had a fever but I do get chills. Had blood work done and my WBC was 2.6,Monocytes automated was high 21.7, Absolute Lymph automated low 0.7. Absolute Seg automated was low 1.3. I had small trace of bilirubine in my urine, traces of leukocytes esterase, keytons, wbc 10-25,rbc2-5,epithelial cells -many, few bacteria, and large mucous. My total protein cout was high 9.1, my bilirubin total was high 1.

Mine was low on the last blood work I had done, I think the lowest number was a 98 and mine was a 97 which is not bad, but my dr. did not say anything about it so I just wondered if anyone had ever had this problem.

Lab called to say that one of the blood test could not be ran due to it not being drawn off the top. She also said that protein s was very low but that she didnt know what they meant. that i would have to wait for the dr.s off ice to call me back. i looked it up and it is the clotting disorder that cuts everything from the baby. 1-2 shots a day will help me carry to term. i will see what re says. I amso mad at my old re but Thankful o God that we know what it is and that it can be fixed.

I had it rechecked this week, and now my calcium, albumin, and total protein are low. I know that low albumin can make a blood calcium level low, but my calcium has always been low in the past.. long before my albumin was low. After reading different information about low albumin levels, I am concerned about liver disease. My ALT and AST were both within normal limits and everything else on my lab work was also. Can the low calcium, albumin, and total protein be from nutrition?

and you would have albumin or protein in the urine. Low albumin/ low protein may also be caused by protein malnutrition. Since you have diabetes, be aware that starchy foods promote water absorption. When you absorb glucose, you also absorb sodium.....and that can cause the leg swelling. And you're taking Alinia....I don't know whether it could be causing protein to be lost from the intestines. So for you, diet and keeping your blood sugar under control is going to be very important.

also low folate

I put up with a job that did that to me, because of that I became depressed due to highs and lows in blood sugar. Im not diabetic just insulin resistant and not eating regularly was really hard on me, I gained 35 lbs In three months from that, then they fired me for demanding a break that I am required to receive by law. If they try anything it will be discrimination because your pregnant.

I am a 33yo white female, with no abnormal medical history until recently. Over the past 13 years or so, I have had many diffuse symptoms which wax and wane and don't make any sense. My biggest complaint is memory difficulties, to the point of not being able to work as a residential designer. I am being seen at a well respected teaching hospital.

On Aug 2009, I did complete blood work, and everything came out fine, except I have slight low white cell and slight high protein. After that, I did 4 HIV tests, and Hep A,B,C at 2,4,9 months after my unprotected sex counter, All come negative. So, do you think a slight high protein is a sign of HIV, or Hep as they said on the internet?

Blood work is all normal except for a small consistent amount of monoclonal protein. I do get frequent UTI's, have low blood pressure, and am low in potassium. A recent bone marrow biopsy showed no sign of cancer or development of myeloma. Years ago I was tested for lupus and the ANA came back indicating lupus, but since the symptoms were subtle at that time, they did not treat me for lupus. All tests since then come back negative for lupus.

Then following that, I got pregnant again and had a partial molar pregnancy, so I had to have a d and c at about 11 weeks (there was a fetal heart beat, but it stopped beating at some point). About 3 weeks after the d and c I had blood work done to see if I had any conditions that had caused the miscarriages. The only thing they found was that my protein c level was at 54 L (reference range is 70-140). Also my Coag factor VIII activity was 42L (reference range is 50-180).

All of the thyroid blood work was normal except for Thyroid Antibodies (which were high). I was started on levothyroxin and will have another ultrasound this week. In the meantime I have many symptoms which st first seemed seperate but I have been doing research and am finding commonalities. A recent blood test has shown a problem with my gamma protein level, the M-spike was undetermined. I have sever hip pain, I have had x-rays, there are no visible breaks or arthritis.

Even a mild urine infection can cause traces of protein in the urine ie protein is found in blood and with a uti it is common to have a small amount of blood in the urine - hence trace of protein as well. have a urine test done to outrule infection and have your kidney function measured by a simple blood test ;) re the altter ie blood test, even one poor egfr can also be the result of a uti!!!!! you need to show a steady pattern of poor egfr to indicate ckd.

So i got a call yesterday form the lab telling me my results on my protein s blood test it was a 19... still waiting to hear from the dr. I guess that is the reason i have miscarried so many times. I am hoping to get a referral to a hematologist. We are still going to try tonight. If i have another mc then oh well. IF i can see him and get on meds quick then maybe it might work for this cycle and we can have a happy healthy beautiful, sweet loving child. http://www.perinatology.

Therefore, people prone to encephalopathy are advised to maintain a high intake of vegetable protein and a low intake of animal protein, or even better, to become vegetarians. This type of diet will help control mental symptoms in people suffering from some degree of chronic encephalopathy—that is, those who have some degree of mental confusion and/or memory loss all the time.

It does say 100% European 100% undenatured whey protein, low temperature, chemical free processing, low lactose and low carbs, added enzymes, cross flow microfiltered, increases glutathione and stimulates immunity. The only thing missing is organic or not and whether it is cold processed. I have tried this before without any issues, but didn't see any benefits either for 3 months. As for my BMI, it is in 21, normal range.

I am a 37 yr old who just last week began to have severe swelling in the lower extremities which now is all over. My joints ache and the doctors told me that all my blood work is normal except for low albumin and proteins. My echo was normal also. I am scheduled for a chest xray and ct of the abdomen and pelvis. The meds I was taking was Vytorin which was stopped last week when the symptoms started but my symptoms have not gotten better. What could this be?

I was not happy about the drs explaination and wanted to find out the reason it was elevated or at least investigate further. I was sent for blood work and the results were; wbc 13.2, lym 4.9 mid 1.8, gran 6.5, rbc 4.61, hgb 11.5, hct 38.1, mcv 82.6, mch 24.9, mchc 30.2, rdw 15.3, plt 368, mpv 9.5, leukocyte alkaline phoe score 77, ferritin 25 and c-reactive protein 10.0, The doctor told me to take iron tablets as I am anemic.

About two years ago she was having pain and severe fatigue and heart issues.

I mentioned the results to my Rheum. but he really couldnt say but to have her see a rheum. I think Lupus.

I don't understand my blood work. A rheuma said what I have is within the Lupus family? I was diagnosed with Discoid Lupus 5 years ago. I would like to know if anyone has had any similar finding. I would like to know exactly what I have. I've gone to two rheumatologists. One who said Sjogren's and the other who didn't give it a name. I'm confused, can somebody help. I'll be forever thankful.

Hi everyone, I recently have been getting over a bad salmonella infection that I was on 24 days of different antibiotics including flagyl for (confirmed in two different stool tests). I decided at the time since recovery has been so slow to test for IBD and celiac just in case. My doctor was very reluctant on doing so saying it is a waste of time and money but agreed to anyway so it would ease my mind.
