Doc says constant albumin/globulin ratio of 2.2 (4.9/2.2) not rare in some health conditions, so should monitor it. What conditions? Protein is norm.

What is causing my total protein to consistently increase with each lab I have done? It was flagged high for the first time recently, and this is when the trend was discovered. 8.6 last month. 8.4 now (globulin has come down in the last few weeks).

Is 1.7 globulin level (ref range 1.9-3.7) a reason to be concerned? Total protein is 6.3 and albumin 4.6 are normal.
