Dear Friend, greetings from HCM . I understand your problems... Your total proteins is very low. Normal total proteins is between 6 to 8 GMs/ DL .. You need to ask for albumin/globulin ratio and 24 hour urinary protein levels. Get the complete hepatobiliary profile done and eGFR . further you can get abdominal scan too . you get lipid profile, thyroid hormone profile .. HbA1c levels ..
