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! :-)
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.
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.
My albumin is chronically high. Globulin chronically low. My dr has told me that I am high risk for multiple myeloma so this doesn’t make me feel better but I now can ask my other dr about it and continue to learn
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.
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 I’ll have brain fog which becomes frustrating. I use to eat bad and whatever I wanted to try and gain wieght bc I’m skinny. I was uneducated about nutrition and the proper way of going about gaining weight growing up.
Dr Berg please do a video for Low Blood Albumin levels and what we can do when it’s 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
now that I got the cancer out and change my diet, maby my nails will grow out good.I want to be on a keto diet but right now my wife is feeding me stuff I don't need trying to put weight back on my body. I'm watching you video's everyday
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
Loving the new video formats.. shared at Health and Wellness 🥰 ps.. congrats on keto channel of the year award ! You deserve it so much thanks for all you do !
Hello Dr.Berg, my protein blood test was 8.2. Is that consider a high level? If it is what could I do to regulate. I am 37 years old. Thank you so much.
If a ckd patient has constant decreasing protein in urine, but the blood protein continues to get worse, why is this the case? We believe the urine or the blood results? Could there be another reason for the higher blood protein?
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?
I went to the rheumatologist and have my blood test. He said my protien in my blood are high that causes my psoriatic arthritis. What kind of protien that causes my psoriaric arthritis? What are the medications needed?

Good Evening dr/ Berg from Egypt🇪🇬 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 .
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
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 it’s may happened may not. I asked if there is anything I needed to do to prevent this from happening she said NO. 😢that not sound right for me. Why I need to wait for something to happen? Please 🙏 answer me because she makes me feel bad 😔 she said no diet, no vitamins, and no treatment can help. She said don’t waste your money.
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?

Hey, Dr Eric. I have been diagnosed with a protain reaction where by I get pink itchy hives all over my body.

The overhydration effecta protein in your urine, not your blood..

My pleasure.

Did you drink lots of water before the test or took the test later in the day?
Thank you Dr.Berg for always explaining it so well and all of us can understand.
The human body is remarkable! Thank you for the information.
Glad you found it helpful!
You are so kind. It comes thru in your videos how you explain things. Thank you for breaking it down for us.
You did not even talk about low protein
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.
and what if globulins are too low?
Is it just me or does Dr. Berg looks like he's getting younger? Lol
thats stupid and its just you
Looks great for 100
He does look younger then us
Yes it seems right 😊
He’s pretty good with lighting.
Your explanation is golden. Simple and informative.

Wait! I have LOW protein in my blood sometimes NOT high. Why is that and what can I do about it? Did I miss something?
same to me
I would like to know too. If the serum albumin is lower than normal range,
what can we do?

I got very low protein..
Maybe its just poor protein diet

Hi Dr. Berg, when blood work shows high chloride, high lymphocytes, low HDL, what would be the best things to do?
Dr Berg why Globuline is high. How xan I lower it? Thank you.
Lower-than-normal plasma protein levels may indicate: severe malabsorption of nutrients and malnutrition. kidney or liver disease. bowel problems.👍
What can I do to get my body to absorb protein? I don't have kidney issues and my liver is healthy, but when I donate plasma my protein level is low.
There is more than one plasma protein... yeh know that?

What about globulin?
Doc said my portein was a little high. I train a lot and consume a lot of meat. So it could just be that?
So if the lab work comes back and it says it's low how can you raise it what can I do to raise it because right now it's 0.6
Dr. Berg can being on the Keto diet increase protein levels in the blood? And is it a concern if so?
This video may be useful:
th-cam.com/video/1hd9djXb1RE/w-d-xo.html
You didn’t explain why is low
Dehydrated is possible
So is the two proteins classified as proteins s and protein c?
How come the cause can be both dehydration (lack of water) or excess H20 (drink too much) ?
Doc can I ask how to calculate or measure total blood protein please ?
