Cervical dysplasia is a precancerous lesion that, if left alone, may develop into squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. The vast majority of cases are associated with infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18. Infection with HPV is a sexually transmitted infection; some virus types are associated with cancer (eg, types 16 and 18), while others just cause genital warts (eg, types 6 and 11). Cervical dysplasia is due to a viral infection. The virus is HPV, and leads to cellular changes in the cervix. Untreated, these changes can either go away on its own or in some cases lead to cervical cancer.

However, there are some data to suggest that daughther's of women who developed cervical cancer are more likely to develope it too, although at this time we do not know of any genetic faults which could cause cervical cancer.

Causes of elevated levels of protein in blood include: * Infection * Chronic inflammation * Certain bone marrow diseases, such as multiple myeloma, amyloidosis and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) A diet high in protein doesn't cause an elevated protein level in the blood.
