High protein levels in blood!

High protein levels in blood!

I got my blood work done and the results came good. I checked my LDL, HDL, Total cholesterols, triglycerides, liver/kidney, diabetes, electolytes, red and white blood cell count and a CRP, they came out normal, the only thing that came out a little high was the protein level, the normal level according to the chart is 6.2-8.3 and I have an 8.6 which is not super high, but should I be concerned?

Have you been eating a lot of meat or peanut butter or beans?  If so, cut down on them and get your blood rechecked in a few months to make sure.  Too much protein is not good for organs and can do damage.  Usually, if the protein is high, the body excretes protein through the eyes.  People who wear contact lenses, will see their lenses turn yellow due to this.  Concerned, but not overly worried.

yeah I do eat meat almost everyday, once or twice a day. and beans I do eat them 2-3 times a week. but I guess I'll recheck myself later, it wasn't super high but it's still not in normal range.
