High blood protein

nasr25

Hello I got blood drawn by my doctor a week ago and results came back that my blood protein was high. So they took more blood and came back the same. I read that swelling can be a cause and I was wondering if anyone has had the experience. I when from barely walking couch potato to walking 10000 steps a day in like a week which was around the time when first blood sample was drawn
