Q: petrified my globulin has gone from 2.8 to 2.5 never this low ana + dsna 1 now ana - dsna now <1 can lowering globulin be lupus no symptoms ena -?

Likely OK/ck kidneys: The approximate normal range for globulins in the blood is 2.6 to 4.6 g/dl. Your level is just slightly below that. Given your ANA and antibodies and your drugs and your history of biopsies and pre-diabetes, it may not be surprising that it is at this level as proteins can be list through the kidneys, so a visit to your doctor is in order to check them out with tests and for reassurance.

Q: tested for autoimmune and reoccurring chest/sinus/flu illness cause. low gamma globulin and igg but normal subclasses, is this significant to symptoms?

See allergist/immuno: Thought I have answered a very similar question. You need to get tested on how your body responds to vaccination (usually pneumococcal and tetanus toxoid) since it is not just the quantity but the function of your IgG which matters the most. A B/C allergist should be able to handle this for you

Q: i am experiencing low testosterone symptoms. lab work says that free testosterone is low, and sex hormone binding globulin is high. i think this might be due to having had hepatitis c. is it possible to experience hcv symptoms after it has cleared?

: I do not think what your suspicion is correct. You should be evaluated by an endocrinologist for this condition which is somewhat uncommon at your age.

Q: can i possibly have hemolytic anemia with normal reticulocytes and ldh, but no haptoglobin, high mchc plus low alpha 2 globulin? currently i have itp and very low lymphocyte count. symptoms include shortness of breath, svt episodes, fatigue?

: A man with hemolytic anemia could certainly have symptoms of fatigue and even shortness of breath. You will want to be sure your hematologist knows all of your symptoms and is sure your anemia is controlled.

Q: what can cause a high a/g ratio? normal albumin but low globulin?

: Seeing the actual numbers would be more helpful, but every now and then I've encountered this ratio but never got any good reason for a normal albumin with a low globulin. Malnutrition is the only reason I've read about that may cause the low globulin. As long as you have normal liver function labs otherwise and no hematology disorders, I'd disregard the low globulin. Low albumin is more serious

Q: what does having low globulin levels mean and how can i get it to normal?

Wide range of normal: Please tell us your lab values and see if they are within the reference range. It is rare in normal people to see low globulin levels.

Q: if your albinum level is low does that mean your globulins level and protein will elevate.

Not necessarily: It would depend on why the albumin is low. All laboratory 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. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine

Q: in my case i have low globulin 1.8 and high a/g ratio. i definately fasted prior. i'm a 31 year old female. healthy. i do try to eat a lot of protein?

Insufficient info: Globulins consist of a number of different proteins, and you need a serum protein electrophoresis, as a start, for a detailed examination of the different proteins. Please consult the doctor who ordered the test.

Q: albinum 5.1 globulin 1.9 ag ratio 2.7 . the report said 1.9 was low and the ag ratio was high. are these numbers concerning? all other blood work came back normal?

: It is difficult to interpret labs taken out of the context of the clinical situation-like what symptoms, if any, are you having? Having said that, these labs results are not concerning. The ratio is high because the globulin is slightly low but a mildly low globulin by itself is not a reason to be concerned. The trend would be informative, is it decreasing or increasing over time?

Q: low auto lymph high globulin low a/g ratio?

A/G ratio: If you are referring to a low albumin to globulin ratio, this lab parameter only has significance when taken into context with the information gathered by the doctor from history, physical, and other labs. A low A/G ratio (
