Given that the normal range for serum protein is about 7 g/100ml and albumin is about 4 g/100ml, what clinical conclusions can you draw from the following samples A-C? If samples are not normal, what protein fraction is increased/decreased and with what disease is this protein pattern likely to be associated?  Sample A:  total protein = 14 g/100ml albumin= 8 g/100 ml Sample B: total protein = 5.8 g/100ml  albumin = 4 g/100 ml Sample C: total protein = 3.5 g/100ml albumin = 2g/100 ml

Given that the normal range for serum protein is about 7 g/100ml and albumin is about 4 g/100ml, what clinical conclusions can you draw from the following samples A-C? If samples are not normal, what protein fraction is increased/decreased and with what disease is this protein pattern likely to be associated? 


Sample A: 
total protein = 14 g/100ml
albumin= 8 g/100 ml


Sample B:
total protein = 5.8 g/100ml 
albumin = 4 g/100 ml


Sample C:
total protein = 3.5 g/100ml
albumin = 2g/100 ml
