Study Notes

Hypoproteinemia (نقص بروتينات الدم)

  • Malnutrition and/or malabsorption can lead to hypoproteinemia
  • Excessive loss of protein due to renal disease, GI leakage, or severe burns can cause hypoproteinemia
  • Excessive bleeding and severe catabolism can also lead to hypoproteinemia
  • Liver disease is another cause of hypoproteinemia

Hyperproteinemia (فرط بروتينات الدم)

  • Dehydration is a cause of hyperproteinemia
  • Monoclonal increases, such as in multiple myeloma, can lead to hyperproteinemia
  • Only disorders affecting albumin and/or immunoglobulin levels can cause abnormal total protein levels
  • Total protein measurements are used to diagnose and treat diseases involving the liver, kidney, or bone marrow, as well as metabolic or nutritional disorders
