The dilemma of hypoalbuminemia

0 Replies

Hello everyone, I have a history of MPN for many years, I have noticed that my liver protein, total protein, albumin, and prealbumin levels are all frighteningly low in routine medical examinations. I even suspect that my C-reactive protein levels are low even when I am in an inflammatory state.

Low protein can lead to severe edema, which is quite painful for me. I have tried my best to supplement protein foods, but there is still no objective improvement. As soon as inflammation occurs, protein is consumed again. Due to long-term consumption of inhibitors, the immune system is weak and it is easy to get sick or develop inflammation.

What should I do? Do you have any good suggestions?
