Elena Malysheva named a sign of the development of liver diseases – Health

Total protein is one of the most important indicators in a blood test, which helps diagnose liver and kidney diseases, the doctor said Elena Malysheva on air of the program “Live healthy” on Channel Onereports Sports.kz with reference to NEWS.ru.

According to her, a decrease in protein indicates kidney problems, while its increase may be a sign of the development of cancer.

According to established standards, the total protein norm ranges from 64 to 83 g/l. According to immunologist Andrei Prodeus, a decrease in protein can occur in patients who practice fasting. In addition, this symptom indicates kidney disease, since it is they who filter protein, preventing it from being excreted in the urine. A decrease in protein levels in the body is also characteristic of hepatitis and other liver diseases. Doctors recommend doing an ultrasound of the liver and kidneys to determine the cause of the decrease in protein. According to Prodeus, high protein is a more dangerous condition.

“This is a rarer but more severe condition. This is bone marrow cancer or blood cancer, when immune cells and bone marrow cells degenerate into cancer and begin to produce a protein that no one needs. It doesn’t perform its normal function and there is an excess amount of it,” he explained.

Malysheva emphasizes that an increase in protein levels is an alarming condition. She recommends seeing a doctor and taking a complete blood test to determine the cause of such changes in the body.
