I hope all will turn out good for you, and wishing you the best of luck.

I think probably there is a bit of a Chinese whisper kind of misunderstanding here. Your blood will contain proteins. It must. Everyone's blood does. For example hemoglobin is a type of protein which makes your red blood cells able to carry oxygen.
What they probably told you is that they found the wrong quantity or the wrong kind of proteins.
Wishing you the best!
- EspadaV9 2y agoYes, sorry, it was hightened levels of proteins. Checking the report and it has these highlighted in red Total Protein Initial Screen (g/L): 87 (normal range 61-84) Immunoglobulin IgA (g/L): 4.9 (normal range < 4.8) Immunoglobulin IgG Initial Screen (g/L): 18.5 (normal range 5.0 - 15.0) And thank you. There's been a lot of Dr Googling about it, and it all sounds a bit scary, but will be jumping on whatever treatments are needed should the worse happen.

It looks like most of the time the increase can be produced by many common infections that are not dangerous. I strongly recomend to get a second opinion before starting some invasive procedure.
