Answer:

Because of the excessive amount of proteases, this person may have protein breakdown in their body, causing problems to various organs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under normal conditions, blood and body tissues have a potent enzyme known as proteases that facilitate protein breakdown and play important roles in defending against infections and inflammatory processes. These proteases should be carefully regulated as overactivity can cause protein destruction causing damage to various organs. For control, blood and other tissues have enzymes with protease inhibitory activity, which prevent its excessive action and potentially harmful effects.
