Lab tests: Usually they measure the total protein in your blood. The major protein in human blood is albumin. Most of the rest consists of gamma globulins (antibodies). The numbers are reported as albumin (A), total protein (TP), and A/G ratio. They usually report normal ranges to the right of your measured values. Yours seem OK.
