Lab values: Both the total protein & Albumin are minimally elevated (may suggest dehydration or illness that can cause dehydration); CRP ( a non-specific marker for inflammation) is in normal range. Discuss findings with ordering doc in context of other labs & what problems u were having that generated those tests. Providing results of other tests give better overall picture.
