Treatment and symptoms of Total protein 12 g/dL | Diet for high Total protein level 12 g/dL

High Total protein level of 12 can cause a number of symptoms.

An abnormal total protein level of 12 may indicate underlying liver or kidney conditions, as well as nutritional deficiencies or immune disorders. A value of 12 could result in fatigue, swelling, or poor wound healing. Total protein reflects the amount of albumin and globulin in the blood and provides insights into your overall health, especially liver function, protein metabolism, and immune system activity. Tracking total protein helps detect systemic diseases at an early stage. While there are multiple ways to treat this, the most important thing is to adjust your diet immediately.

Ideal levels of Total protein in the blood are approximately 6.4 - 8.2 g/dL (Men)
