Question 3

how often is beta-2-micro albumin elevated in lymphoma??

Accepted Answer

Beta-2 microglobulin: is a protein found on the surface of many human cells, including white blood cells. Increased production or destruction of these cells causes B2M levels in the blood to increase. If it is elevated, and how  much it is elevated, generally correlates with tumor cell load. Early, mild cases may not result in elevation of B2M; more advanced cases typically would--can't reliably estimate a percentage.

Question 4

total calcium level 10.5( elevated by .5) total protein 8.8( elevated by .8)albumin 5.2(elevated by .2)phosphorus 2.3(decreased by .2) worrisome or no?

Accepted Answer

Not really worrisome: These lab values are not all that abnormal and really in most cases are not to worry about as they are.  It also depends on if you are having problems.  If you had these drawn you must of had an order from your healthcare professional and you should also check with them and see if there is a problem that they are concerned about.  Please check with them on the final decision.  I hope this helped.

Question 5

what does an elevated gloublin of 4.2 mean??  (normal range is 2.0-4.0) 
albumin normal at 3.9 (normal range is 3.5-5.0).

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities..: First, you should know that it's only mildly elevated, and a true diagnosis requires further testing and a more complete history and physical. But the differential diagnosis for "high serum globulin" is:  leukemia, lupus, collagen diseases, syphilis, waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, liver disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, carcinoid syndrome, kidney disease, or chronic infection.

Question 6

i had fatty liver over 11 mths elevated enzymes but are now normal for 9 mths us show no fat in liver my albumin is 3.5 does this mean liver is bad?

Accepted Answer

Congrats: Great job on reducing the fat on your liver.  I assume you lost weight to have this happen…. Your albumin is low normal, maybe you are too extreme with your dieting, but a better gauge of your nutritional status is a pre albumin blood test.  You may also have a lower albumin level due to a loss of protein in your kidneys,have your kidneys checked out too. What was your albumin level 11 months ago?

Question 7

liver enzymes were elevated and got retested the resutls were albumin blood test is 4.9. is this good? im a 26 y/o female.

Accepted Answer

Incomplete info: The albunin level is good, but you did not provide information on the liver enzyme levels. Please note that all lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that.

Question 8

i didn't drink much water for weeks. then, after hydrating for days, my calcium revealed to be 10.6 (range 8.3 - 10.3) and my albumin levels 5.5 (range 3.5 - 5.1). slightly elevated sodium too. everything else is normal. how concerned should i be?

Accepted Answer

: You are still not well hydrated. You should drink enough water every day so that your urine is mostly colorless. Your albumin and sodium levels suggest continuing dehydration. You may repeat the test after a month of sufficient water intake every day, including the morning of the test.

Question 9

what could be the cause of a low calcium level of 8.2? albumin 4.6, globulin 1.8, bun 16, vit d 38. sodium slightly elevated but all else in range

Accepted Answer

Calcium: What is your ionized calcium level? Why skin biopsy? And what other medications are you taking ie for depression and anxiety? Answer to all these can help us find answer to your query.

Question 10

husbands blood albumin is 5.5 ( ref range is 3.5-5.0). should we be concerned?  also his bilirubin is 2.2( ref range 0.0-1.0) however, it is always somewhat elevated. doctor mentioned gilbert syndrome at one point and said it is harmless. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Gilbert's: I wouldn't be concerned with the albumin of 5.5. In order to diagnose Gilbert's syndrome we have to see elevation of the indirect or unconjugated bilirubin level. Gilbert's, a genetic cond is rather harmless but can cause yellowish tinge of the skin and whites of the eyes. This can worsen with development of intercurrent illnesses like respiratory infection, stress, strenuous exercise,dehydration.
