The present disclosure relates to methods for generating blood protein profiles from whole blood, red blood cell enriched blood samples, or red blood cell components. The methods involve the comparison of protein levels before and after incubation with protease inhibitors, or the comparison of protein levels after incubation in the presence and absence of protease inhibitors. The protein profiles are used for monitoring and diagnosing diseases and disorders in subjects including colorectal cancer and preeclampsia.
