Hi . I just got my blood test back and found that my globulin is 2.0
(range 2.1-3.7, but I've read other places that claim it should be
2.5-3.5). The Albumin/Globulin range was 2.5 (range 1.0-2.1).

The rest of my blood test was normal.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

It depends on the lab. Each lab publishes its own set of normal ranges.
(I've got a couple booklets around somewhere, but not close at hand.)

About five or ten years ago, there was a doctor on the public TV
stations during pledge-drive time who said that gamma-globulin levels
from initial blood tests taken at the time of admission to hospitals
were a good indicator of mortality. The higher a patient's initial
gamma-globulin level, the greater the likelihood he'd live.

oh boy... that's not very encouraging.

So does anyone know what causes this and if there's anything one can
do to raise their globulin levels? The doc told me it was nothing to
worry about and sometimes these results aren't the most accurate when
done by the lab I went to (Quest diagnostics), but if there's anything
I can do to improve this number, please let me know!

Thanks.
