What Can Cause Low Level Of Uric Acid And Low Protein?

protein serum is 6.3 against 6.4-8.2
please advise whether these values are o.k
These values look normal, better to repeat after some time
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Though certain disease of which few may be serious, can cause low level of uric acid, and low protein, but the level you mentioned are not so low that we should be worried a lot. Lab values are not exactly absolute, and little variation may also occur with age, race and many other factors.
causes of low uric acids are a lot, but if you are other wise healthy, if you do not have any kidney, liver disease, or any other signs of major disease like weight loss, easy tiredness, vomiting etc., then I can understand this is not serious. Alcohol and diet low in purines may also cause little low levels.
Similarly, low low protein may be related to diet, in an otherwise healthy person.
So i assume this result is not apparently abnormal , neither associated with any special disease. However, it won't be a bad idea to repeat the test after some time.
However if you are feeling sick, Then you better see your doctor bur I am hopeful about you.
Please do ask if you have any further question in your mind, i would be glad to answer that.
Best regards,
Dr. Rahman
