Blood Plasma Level low & High / Kidney & Lever disease Presentation for Medical Biology Students

VARIATIONS IN PLASMA PROTEIN LEVEL

The level of plasma proteins vary independently of one another. However, in several conditions, the quantity of albumin and globulin change in opposite direction.

DECREASE IN ALL FRACTIONS OF PROTEINS HYPOPROTEINEMIA

Hypoproteinemia occurs in the following conditions:

1.   Hemorrhage

2.   Extensive burns

3.   Pregnancy

4.   Malnutrition

5.   Prolonged starvation

6.   Cirrhosis of liver and

7.   Chronic infections like chronic hepatitis or chronic nephritis.

INCREASE IN ALL FRACTIONS— HYPERPROTEINEMIA

Hyperproteinemia occurs in the following conditions:

1.   Dehydration and

2.   Acute infections like acute hepatitis or acute nephritis.
