In this video, weâre going to talk about blood proteins. Iâm going to make this very simple so you can get a full understanding of what blood proteins are and why they matter.
There are two primary types of protein in the blood: albumin and antibodies. These represent most of the protein in your blood.
The liver creates albumin. The purpose of this protein is to hold the fluid in your blood. If you have liver damage, you wonât be able to hold fluid in your blood. Instead, the fluid goes out through your urine and into your tissues-also known as edema. Fluid can also build up in the sack in your abdominal area-this is called ascites.
Albumin also helps transport hormones, electrolytes, vitamins, certain drugs, and fatty acids.
The other type of protein is antibodies. Antibodies are produced by immune cells that help you with your immunity. They are Y-shaped proteins that are like receptors. They connect with something called an antigen-this is a piece of a pathogen, like a bacterium, virus, or other foreign substance that doesnât need to be in the body.
When antibodies connect with antigens, they neutralize a pathogen, tag or identify pathogens, regulate inflammation, and kill off unhealthy cells.
High blood proteins could be a sign of an infection, dehydration, or cancer. High protein in your urine could signal kidney damage, excess protein consumption, too much exercise, drinking too much water, or youâre using creatine.

Thanks for watching. I hope this helped clear up what blood proteins are and why they matter. Iâll see you in the next video.
![Is the protein in my urine due to kidney disease? [Viewer Question]](/img/n.gif)
You are so kind. It comes thru in your videos how you explain things. Thank you for breaking it down for us.
Dr Berg, your voice is so therapeutic. Thank you for your education đ đ đ
My pleasure.
Thank you Dr.Berg for always explaining it so well and all of us can understand.
these informative vids of Dr. Berg are always priceless. always much to take away even if the topic doesn't directly affect me.
Dr. Berg, you are my hero, your knowledge and intellect are enabling me to feel better at 37 than i ever did at even 17!!!
Glad to be an inspiration.
Same here. Iâm 47. I remember my days as a young woman in the Navy, Iâm slower now but I feel better now than then in a lot of ways.
@@Drberg hi DR PLEASE HELP MY NEGHEW HE VERY SICK THERE NO dr in my Somalia hi has Albumin and swallow too much ii want send you Allla his report
Another very informative video. I too like the presentations with Dr. Berg standing near the white board.
Like the new way your doing videos, very relaxing to listen too.
My husband is a transplant recipient so I understand this well as well as your creatinine video but both of these videos did help me.
Glad it was helpful!
My albumin is chronically high. Globulin chronically low. My dr has told me that I am high risk for multiple myeloma so this doesnât make me feel better but I now can ask my other dr about it and continue to learn
Did you drink lots of water before the test or took the test later in the day?
Great information. Thank you đ
After watching several hundred of your videos, this is the only one where I felt there was significant ambiguity or confusion. Particularly, the differences between low protein and high protein in terms of diagnosis/determination, cause and treatment wasn't clear enough and detailed enough. This critique aside, I very much appreciate all of the education that you provide, which literally has changed my life substantially for the better! :-)
I agree
The human body is remarkable! Thank you for the information.
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you Dr. Berg for explaining this. My moms lab work came back with high protein in the blood and she was worried. She mentioned to me that she had drank 4 bottles of water prior to her lab test to make sure she was hydrated enough for the blood draw. This explains why she came back with a high protein . The docs will retest her and I told her to not chug a lot of water and to go back to her normal water intake. Thanks for this video. I love your channel.
Did you ever find out why it was high??
Wow. I did the same thing recently and mine came back high. I don't usually drink that much water before blood test, but I too wanted to be sure I was hydrated. Guess that was a bad idea.
The overhydration effecta protein in your urine, not your blood..
â@@homemanager1724too much water will cause albumin to go out of range and also if blood work was done in afternoon not in the morning
Brilliant Dr, thank you.
Intelligent analysis, Oh, perfect lighting, video looks perfect
I agree on both points. The right focus as well...not too small.
I'm glad that you liked this post.
Loving the new video formats.. shared at Health and Wellness đ„° ps.. congrats on keto channel of the year award ! You deserve it so much thanks for all you do !
Has the Doc said why he's in the dark hall speaking softly. Is he on lockdown .?
keto channel of the year award? he is so humble!!
Yes, sir. đ Thank you very much. đ Always so I interesting. Have a great day. đ§Ąđ
Dr Berg, can you write me..What causes high levels of albumin in the blood?& Which foods are good for it?
Very informative. My recent globulin level was 1.50 G/DL against the permissible range (2.0 -4.1) G/DL as reported by one testing lab. Why should it be at lower side is my worry. Should I have to adhere to healthy diet pattern such as taking protein rich menu?
Greetings Dr.eric hope you are well sir!
My dad had TB and has asthama and eczema then an heartattack then shingles...he has recoverd from heartattack and TB all major illness but 1 thing is happening from last 2years are he get sick very often nearly 2time 3times a month sometime everywekk just a heavyflue he gets.Please make a video on why that happens and what can we do to prevent and a cure thanks !

Dr. Berg my question is what make just my Beta Globulin level high? My Beta level has been between 1.2-1.3 for a couple months now and I have no idea what is causing it. Iâve had three blood samples tested for A/G ratio and all the protein levels, they have all came back with everything in normal range except for the Beta. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
I have polycythemia Vera so I have to watch my protein intake but I do keto the Dr wants my hemoglobin between 14 and 15 the other day it was 15.6 so he took some blood could you do a video on polycythemia Vera thanks

Good Evening dr/ Berg from EgyptđȘđŹ I wanna ask you a question
A year and a half ago I had food poisoning therefore I took antibiotic for 3 months ,and it appeared that the antibiotic I had been taking caused for me an allergy that makes my skin swells .So after that I changed the medicine and I was cured .But since then I had been suffering from strange symptoms that continued for a year up till now , if I scratched my skin ,some thick swelling lines would appear with high tempreature and go away after 1 minute . I feel that my blood is so hot as well as feeling dizzy ,sleepy and nauseous all day long. After that I went to an immunity doctor to for a checkup .The doctor gave me an anti allergy medicine but the symptoms still won't go away .so I stopped taking the medicine.
Doctor Berg , please inform me about what should I do .
@Taiwo Omotosho thanks for your reply â€ïžđč

Very glad to be of help.
My body composition scales say I have high protein so have booked a check up with my doctor.. gone from 16.5 to 20.4 in 90 days of 20 hour fasting.
Thanks so much doctor.
Sure thing!
and what if globulins are too low?
Dr berg plz make a video on lymphoma i am getting a new lymp every second day..... plz help with the topic
Very interesting!
Hi Dr Berg : will this be the same if if I have Hi Levels of Immunoglobulins og IGG: 1,750 and IGA: 2,185 and IGM: 38
Because my doctor wants to treat me with Chemo for Mutiple Myaloma and he said this protein will lower. If you have any suggestions on how to lower these , or should I not eat meats, thank you I always watch all your videos.
Please tell me how itâs going.
I was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis in 2001. I commonly spill a couple grams of protein in my 24hr urine and at one point I had over 12 grams in a 24hr test. I changed my diet and in about 6 months I was under 1 gram a day.
The symptoms I get with low Albumin in my blood is swelling and I have stretch marks from retaining so much water very rapidly 40lbs in 2 weeks was my worst experience and Iâll have brain fog which becomes frustrating.
I use to eat bad and whatever I wanted to try and gain wieght bc Iâm skinny. I was uneducated about nutrition and the proper way of going about gaining weight growing up.
Did the swelling go away after changing your diet?
@@kg4stI would like to know too
Thank you dr for your videos I need to know if I reached my weight lose goal can I eat fruits like apple, banana etc

Hope it helps answer your question!
Thank you Dr. Berg for a great video and explanation đ. This is đŻ exactly what happened to my son who had Severe Pulmonary Hypertension. Without the double Transplant that was needed it affected his heart ; therefore, he got right heart failure where his heart had enlarged and fluids starting backing up to the lower extremities (edema) and eventually through the tissues in the abdomen (acsites). Even though a tube was inserted in his abdomen to drain the excess fluids it was not enough. He eventually died of kidney failure at age 29.
Thank you đ Dr Berg for really showing and explaining that đ process as the cardiologists never gave me so much details. My son was born with a lung defect that lead to all the above.. and science is still not there yet. Everyone count your blessings and stay healthy.
You are heaven †sent. I've learned so much with all the videos you put out there.
BLESS YOU ALWAYS đ â„. NAMASTE!!!
so sorry you had to lose him so young. yet, you're blessed you had him for 29years. that's 29 years of love you wouldn't have known without him
@@julivictoria4501 Thank you Juli for your kind words. Love and Light. đâ€â€

DR. berg is getting famous in china. hope u be there often
Dr Berg please do a video for Low Blood Albumin levels and what we can do when itâs on the lower side of normal or when it drops lower than the normal range? I see it points to Liver or Kidney issues, but would like to know your thoughts and possible improvements to up the level. Thank you
We'll add that to our video suggestion list.

@@Drberg Thank you so much. Thereâs very little info about the Low side and itâs all pretty scary stuff.
Hello Dr. Berg do you have any videos about nephropathy or improving circulation. I sometimes get numbness or irritated feeling on the outside of my front right thigh to the knee. I even notice the skin seems a bit rougher at times. Maybe it's something to do with my posture bc I do find myself leaning on that side for most things. Granted I could do my physical activity but it's always the same side. Even when I did work out a lot id notice on leg presses my right knee could seems to suffer on occasion and force me to stop. Anyway great stuff as always Dr. I must've lost 25 pounds at least over the last 2 months doing Keto and OMAD.
jay sciatica? bet he has videos on that subject! some good yoga stretches cured mine. Adho Mukha Kapotasana. fancy words for stretch that piriformis muscle. look it up!
@@julivictoria4501 Thank you very much. I'm going to check them out.
Hi doc. I have high protein in my urine. I asked my doctor what should i do? He answer nothing just keep exercise and eat healthy food. Is that right?
Most of your videos are well organized. I understood high proteins but I felt the information on low proteins on labs were not adequately covered here. I was left confused. I watched the video twice thinking I missed that info, still lacking. You still do a great job overall.
Is there a way to increase my a/g ratio?
If my A/G ratio is 2.3 , is that something i should worry about?
Dr. Eric Berg , i am taking TRU NIAGEN for 2 years, and found High protein in urine. Is TRU NIAGEN belongs to one kind of creatine that would make High protein in urine?
Might a past fungal disease (Valley Fever) cause a drop in a Globulin level?
Dr.Berg thank you for the information. I appreciate it. I wanted to know if you could touch on low protein in the blood. You talked a lot about high protein in the blood can you please tell us about low protein. Thanks.
Here's a video that may help!

Any advice on how to deal with low albumin ? Mine has dropped 35% in 3 years and I am now starting to get Edema around the ankles.
I would like to know this too. What to do when serum albumin levels get lower than normal?
Will high protein in the blood cause frequent urination?
So is high Albumen in the blood a problem?
My a/g is 3.0 and albumin is like 5.7
I drink like maybe 3 bottles of water a day
And alot of meat could that be why.
I have been tried and lack of energy it really a struggle?
what are your thoughts on systematic candidiasis
Thank you đ
You're welcome!
If you have too much protein but on a fast then continue until protien reduces or fast from water until clear too? Water is needed but can a dry fast be used to lose the urine foam before drinking water again?
Doc said my portein was a little high. I train a lot and consume a lot of meat. So it could just be that?
my dr just said this about me so I checked ur videos also odk about this time but normally when I get my blood work my WBC IS ALWAYS HIGH AND WORRIES ME..
Thanks !
You're welcome!
thank you
And if your proteins (globulins) are low???
Doc can I ask how to calculate or measure total blood protein please ?
Blood work
Dr Berg, What is recommendations for high/low protein in the blood or urine?
Get a protein to creatinine ratio (PCR) test.. or 24 hour urine protein test.. plus a blood creatinine test.. to ensure that the kidneys are doing fine.. best thing would b to approach a nephrologist without wasting any time.. because high protein over a long period of time in blood can sabotage the kidneys because of the excessive stress on the kidneys due to excessive protein filtering and re absorbtion process.. anyone with foamy urine over a long period of time should consult a good nephro

Hello Dr berg, please I need your help, lately the doctor find that I have protein in the blood, and law while blood cells. She said there is nothing to do about, or to correct it, I just need to watch it. Because it may cost damage in the future the leukaemia, she said itâs may happened may not. I asked if there is anything I needed to do to prevent this from happening she said NO. đąthat not sound right for me. Why I need to wait for something to happen? Please đ answer me because she makes me feel bad đ she said no diet, no vitamins, and no treatment can help. She said donât waste your money.
Thank yoi for this, i had a serum total protein of 8.3g/dl should i be concerned about myeloma. My doctor is repeating the test but said she doesnt feel its needed. Seeking some assurance
What's your Globulin levels ? My TP is 8.86
Hi Dr. Berg, when blood work shows high chloride, high lymphocytes, low HDL, what would be the best things to do?
But what about low protein in the blood test.
I got very low protein..
Maybe its just poor protein diet
My AG ratio is 2.6. Is it a concern? A is 5 and G is 1.9. I do keto 20-4. Take about 120G of protein in 4hrs or so and do 3 day fasting every week.
How are you now
So is the two proteins classified as proteins s and protein c?
i wish i had you for my doctor, mine dont tell you anything, my gobulin is 2.1 that means it low, will they tell me how i can repair this? no. i am quite tired all the time, i wake up tired.
Could you please do a video about whether consuming excessive protein through foods or supplements cause any damage to kidneys or not?
Was thinking the same thing
I'd like to know the answer to that question too.

How come the cause can be both dehydration (lack of water) or excess H20 (drink too much) ?
Dear Sir
My wife she was diagnosed for 24 hours Urine test, finally the test results was 18000 mgs/day, does it means her life at risk ? please help suggesting
Thanks a lot. During intermediate fasting my protein level was 16.8%. I started strength gain exercise at gym and was taking between 200-250gm proteins. After one week when I seen protein level at 16.1% made me concerned. Yup I was drinking 12 glass of water because I was afraid of toxins of protein shake which I take once a day. 100gm from 2 chicken breasts is blessing to cover 1gm/lbs of weight to gain muscles.
Once again thanks for taking time to enlighten us.â€
Please Dr. When to do test contain liver function and kidney function at age 40 years all the result came out fine except potassium 3.33 and sodium was 131.20.
Doctor asked to used pedialyte
advanced and used slow k, after a week I went to another test both came out with normal rage but globulin now rising to 4.18 and A/G ratio is low 0.9 what should be the remedy for this?? Please please!
What was causing low Anion gap mine is zero
