R70-R79: Abnormal findings on examination of blood, without diagnosis
R77: Other abnormalities of plasma proteins
The group of conditions known as 'Other abnormalities of plasma proteins' refers to various disorders that affect the proteins found in your blood plasma. These proteins have several important roles, including clotting blood, fighting diseases, and carrying substances around the body. When these proteins aren't functioning properly, it can lead to a variety of health issues. Common abnormalities may cause symptoms such as fatigue, bleeding or bruising easily, or getting infections frequently. They could also lead to more specific issues, such as problems with blood clotting. It is common for these conditions to progress slowly, and they are often diagnosed through blood tests. These diseases can be caused by different factors, including genetic predispositions, liver disease, or an abnormal immune response. It's important to note that the manifestation and progression of these conditions can vary greatly from patient to patient, and a healthcare provider would need to develop an individualized approach to manage the condition.
