Can high protein levels in blood be passed on to children?

i think he has something else going on by the sounds they shouldn't be that high some people run high all the time has he been tested for this before and they are just now elevating? obviously its nothing to be very concerned about or the Dr would have told you. i would certainly ask him if he feels that this is a genetic condition.

Current doctors say YES it can, although the chances are very minimal.  Basically it works the opposite - they have not yet proven that it cannot be transferred through these fluids, so just be careful until they prove otherwise.

YES. Absolutely, despite all the answers you've received to the contrary. \n\nThe way blood groups are named, either your blood contains certain proteins (named A and B) or it doesn't - if you have both you are blood type AB; if you have only A you are A; if you have only B you are, you guessed it, B, and if you have neither you are blood type O.\n\nIf you have a gene for a blood protein, either A or B, you will have that protein in your blood. However, we have two copies of each chromosome, and it is possible that each parent has one copy of the A gene on one chromosome, and doesn't have it on their other chromosome (O). This means they will both be blood type A, since they each have one copy. However, if they have a child who happens to get the O chromosome from each of them, then the child will be blood type O. Mathematically expressed, each parent is AO, and on average their children have a 25% chance of being AA (blood type A and cannot have type O kids), 50% chance of being AO (blood type A but able to have type O kids), and 25% chance of being OO (blood type O).\n\nThis is the whole idea of recessive genes, which also explains why two brown-eyed people can have a blue-eyed baby without any hanky-panky going on.\n\nAs regards the Rhesus factor, i.e. the "+", again that is a recessive characteristic. The child must have received the Rh factor from his father, since his mother is negative. (NOTE that any Rh-negative woman who has an Rh-positive baby should get a shot of something called RhoGam, or WinRho, to prevent problems in future pregnancies.)

you get blood pressure my uncle and my aunt had that and they got blood pressure see when you eat a lot of shrip you can get that or by eating  lot of sugar i also know that because my sister is a doctor. i hope this answer your question also i forgot to tell you Some signs of Protein deprivation: \n\nEdema \nLoss of muscle mass \nFailure to grow \nDecreased immunity \nChanges in skin pigmentation \nThinning of hair \nDermatitis u this is and\n\nSome signs of malnutrition:\n\nLethargy \nIrritability \nFatigue

Please, don't put your child's health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your child's mind and body. Consult your doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

Yeah you can.\n\nit runs in families, you could just get kidney function tests assuming that you are older than 18 yrs unless you have kidney problems now as a teenager.

consult a paediatrician.

Yeah... a couple of examples: too little in the way of some vitamins will kill you.  Not enough C= scurvy, which is deadly (immune system compromise and other things) and affected many English sailors.  Not enough D= rickets, which could possibly be fatal to a young child from loss of bone mass.  Not enough B1 (thiamine)= beriberi, which is a systemic disorder something like scurvy that can kill.  Not enough protein= kwashiorkor, which is also lethal.\n\nAlso, too much A can burn up your liver (so can acetaminophen, which is Tylenol).  Too much B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) can cause nerve damage.  Too much D or calcium can cause calcium stones, which aren't fatal, but if you get one in your kidneys and can't urinate as a result, you'll wish you were dead.  I am sure there are others, too... and if you drink too much water, as some people who are compulsive do, you can actually drown yourself... :)

In the UK if your taking insulin, then you will not be able to give blood. This restriction is because concern about the health of the blood donors, \n\nIn the US To give blood for transfusion to another person, you must be healthy, be at least 17 years old or 16 years old if allowed by state law, weigh at least 110 pounds, and not have donated blood in the last 8 weeks (56 days). "Healthy" means that you feel well and can perform normal activities. If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, "healthy" also means that you are being treated and the condition is under control. \n\nInsulin\nThose who since 1980, received an injection of bovine (beef) insulin made from cattle from the United Kingdom are not eligible to donate. This requirement is related to concerns about variant CJD, or 'mad cow' disease. Learn more about variant CJD and blood donation.

CPK  is creatine phosphokinase, an enzyme found in heart, muscle, and brain tissue. An elevation in CPK  most often alerts physicians to order an MB fraction, the one specific for cardiac (heart). Usually if the MB fraction is normal you can rule out cardiac damage. Therefore, it is very likely that  your son had  high CPK levels due to the weight lifting because of severe muscle strain

They would do a chest xray for TB and most probably will draw some blood for testing against HIV, Rubella, and other stuff. If you have all your medical records regarding shots that he took as a kid it might help.

It is extremely unlikely but hepatitis B is found in blood, saliva, and other bodily fluids of a person infected with it. It is usually transmitted to another person if blood or fluid enters anothers body through a cut or broken skin. (also sexual intercourse and including injection)\n\nIF the other baby has got Hepatitis B then you may want to get your baby tested just in case; speak to a doctor if you are worried.

Yes.  A small amount of protein is excreted in sweat.  Check the source website for some good information about DNA collection.

you're very correct in that you should mention those things. some other proteins you could mention is albumin and if you don't have enough, the pressure will be different in your Extracellular Fluid, also if you don't have the right amount of proteins your cells won't be able to do protein synthesis and divide....

No, at least one parent must have an "A" allel to pass on. This is Biology 101.
