Attempts should be made to classify the type of deficiency in both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, in order to properly assess the risk of thrombosis and the need for prophylaxis. [diapharma.com]
- Underweight
BMI was classified as underweight (less than 20 kg/m²), normal (20-24.9 kg/m²), overweight (25-29.9 kg/m²), obese-1 (30-34.9 kg/m²), obese-2 (35-39.9 kg/m²), or obese-3 (at least 40 kg/m²). [worldallergy.org]

Urine
- Albuminuria
Albuminuria: Presence of albumin in urine is called as albuminuria. It is always pathological. 11. Large quantities of albumin is lost in urine in nephrotic syndrome. [slideshare.net]

Hyperglobulinemia Diagnosis :Identifying globulins can help with the diagnosis of certain diseases related with globulins e.g. gammopathy, hypogammaglobulinemia, Bruton agammaglobulinemia, dysgammaglobulinemia, globulinuria, hypergammaglobulinemia, hyperglobulinemic [medigoo.com]

Prevention
IV immunoglobulin helps prevent coronary aneurysms. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Immediate short-term protection against hepatitis A, measles, polio, rubella. [patient.info]
To prevent this lost RBP is attached with pre-albumin; the complex is big and will not pass through kidney glomeruli. [slideshare.net]
Albumin binds calcium, thyroid hormones, fatty acids, and many drugs, keeping them in the blood circulation and preventing them from being filtered out by the kidneys. [encyclopedia.com]
As the principal inhibitor of plasmin, alpha 2-PI plays a key role in the physiologic control of fibrinolysis by helping localize reactions to the sites where they are needed and by helping prevent systemic spillover. [emedicine.medscape.com]
