dysproteinémirelaterte

Dysproteinemirelaterte is a broad term encompassing disorders characterized by abnormalities in the quantity or quality of specific proteins within the blood. These proteins, primarily synthesized in the liver, play crucial roles in maintaining osmotic pressure, transporting substances, and facilitating immune responses. Alterations in dysproteinemirelaterte can lead to a variety of clinical manifestations depending on the affected protein.

One common type of dysproteinemirelaterte involves changes in albumin levels. Hypoalbuminemia, a decrease in albumin, can result from reduced synthesis, increased loss, or excessive catabolism of albumin. This can lead to fluid shifts, causing edema and ascites. Conversely, hyperalbuminemia, an increase in albumin, is less common and often reflects dehydration.

Another significant category relates to immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies. Dysproteinemirelaterte in immunoglobulins can manifest as deficiencies (hypogammaglobulinemia), increasing susceptibility to infections, or excesses (hypergammaglobulinemia). Specific monoclonal gammopathies, such as multiple myeloma, involve the overproduction of a single type of immunoglobulin, which can have detrimental effects on bone and kidney function.

Other plasma proteins, including clotting factors, transport proteins like transferrin, and enzymes, can also be affected in dysproteinemirelaterte. Diagnosis typically involves a blood test called serum protein electrophoresis, which separates and quantifies different protein fractions. Treatment strategies vary widely and depend on the underlying cause and the specific protein abnormality identified.
