A bone profile blood test measures for protein in the blood. If a bone profile low protein and inflammation was one of the results in your blood count, it means that an infection is present.
Yes, it can.
an abnormally low concentration of protein in the blood. and its hypoproteinemia
A low protein count in a blood sample can be an indication of underlying problems. A follow up with a doctor should include questions about the cause and remediation to correct the issue.
I have a low protein in the blood result....would like to know what causes this, and how do I elevate the protein to what it should be. Thank you Ann
The condition where protein levels in the blood are too low is known as hypoproteinemia. This can occur due to various reasons, including malnutrition, liver disease, kidney disorders, or inflammatory conditions. Low protein levels can lead to symptoms such as swelling, fatigue, and impaired immune function. It is important to diagnose and treat the underlying cause to restore normal protein levels in the blood.
Yes.
yes
Hypoproteinemia
Total protein
There is a protein called complement that is used up during autoimmune activity. Low complement means lupus is active. C reactive protein is another protein marker. This protein is high during flares. So, what matters is which protein is low.
If blood protein levels become low, then there will be a decrease in colloidal osmotic pressure. This in turn can cause side effects in the body like edema and muscle degeneration.
