Hello there. I have read through your question and I can understand your concern. High level of protein indicate s certain metabolism defect in liver or kidney. If you can tell me exactly which protein is increased I can provide you with a clearer picture. There are many genetic disorders which lead to inborn error s of metabolism and can lead to high level of protein. Further Blood enzyme assays can reveal what defect your baby is exactly suffering from. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write.
