There are several possible causes for low blood protein levels. One is kidney failure, which results in the blood proteins being lost in the urine. Another is liver failure, which results in insufficient quantities of blood proteins being produced. A third is severe recent hemorrhage, in which total blood volume was lost and only the fluid component has been replaced at the time of blood analysis.
