The type of protein measured in blood is often the protein involved with the immune system. High levels of protein in the blood can be due to many factors, depending on the type of protein present. Normally, your blood contains relatively small amounts of millions of types of proteins, which help fight infection. Causes of elevated levels of protein in blood include: * Infection * Chronic inflammation * Certain bone marrow diseases, such as multiple myeloma, amyloidosis and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) A diet high in protein doesn't cause an elevated protein level in the blood. However, in cases of severe malnutrition, overall blood protein can be decreased. Further testing can help pinpoint the cause of high levels of protein in blood.
