High blood protein is an increase in the concentration of protein in the bloodstream. The medical term for high blood protein is hyperproteinemia. High blood protein is not a specific disease or condition, but it might indicate that you have a disease.

High blood protein rarely causes symptoms on its own. But sometimes it is found when you have blood tests done for a separate issue or symptom.
