Best Answer

Massive bleeding and severe burns can cause low blood protein due to overwhelming protein losses. With bleeding, the proteins are lost along with blood. In the case of massive burns, protein-rich fluid leaks from the open burn wounds. Immense amounts of fluid and protein that can be lost through burns. In a research article published in the journal "Burns," Dr. M. Lehnhardt and colleagues reported the total amount of blood proteins in the circulation is lost through fluid leakage in roughly the first 24 hours after sustaining second degree burns involving 20 percent of the body surface area.

What are low biological value proteins and in which foods are they mainly found?

Proteins with a low biological value are proteins which do not significantly result in growth by the individual that eats them. This is usually because the amino acids in the protein are not all present in the right amount. Foods with proteins that have low biological value include almost all plants. For example, cereal grains are low in the amino acid lysine, and so have low biological value by itself. Legumes are low in methionine. The plant with the highest biological value protein is quinoa.
