What Causes Low Blood Protein?
Hypoalbuminemia is not an independent disease, but a result of the negative balance of nitrogen caused by various causes. Mainly manifested as malnutrition. Proteins in blood are mainly plasma proteins and hemoglobin contained in red blood cells. Plasma proteins include plasma albumin, various globulins, fibrinogen, and a small amount of binding proteins such as glycoproteins and lipoproteins. The total amount is 6.5 to 7.8 g%. If total plasma protein is less than 6.0g%, hypoproteinemia can be diagnosed. Hypoproteinemia is generally treated in a timely and reasonable manner and can achieve certain effects.

- Humoral
- In addition to the manifestations of the primary disease, the main clinical manifestation is malnutrition. Negative nitrogen balance causes significant consumption of subcutaneous fat and skeletal muscle, and the patient is increasingly thin, and in severe cases, the disease (liquid) state is severe. Gastrointestinal tract mucosa atrophy, reduced gastric acid secretion, reduced digestive enzymes, and therefore poor appetite. Fatigue and weakness are also common symptoms. Patients do not like activities, their physical strength declines, their responses become dull, and their memory declines. Most have mild to moderate anemia, often dizziness, orthostatic hypotension and bradycardia. The occurrence of edema is related to the decrease of effective plasma osmotic pressure.
