A member asked:
What can cause low serum globulin, 1.5 (reference cutoff 1.6)? can slightly low globulin have an affect on the accuracy of other labs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May not be anything.: It's not clear if such a small reduction means anything. Globulin on a chemistry panel measures a group of blood proteins that include antibodies. A low globulin can mean lowered immunity, but not always. Additional testing (quantitative immunoglobulins) should be done to verify normal immune function.

Does low serum globulin affect blood tests that assess immunoglobulin levels? For example if an illness caused proteinuria, could a disease actually cause the test for it to be falsely negative?
