A member asked:
Could severe seasonal allergies cause a chance in serum globulin? globulin went up to 34 from 29 back in november.

No, except for IgE: Specific IgE to plant pollen , the antibody accounting for allergic reactions, often rises during the pollen season. However the amount would not be sufficient to influence the total (gamma?) globulin level you are referring to.

No: Agree with Dr Chiu. And the increase in serum globulin is marginal. But why are you checking serum globulin that often? Not really a routine test, unless there is another problem being followed, and that was back in November, 8 months ago. If no other health problem, and just seasonal allergies, disregard those figures, best wishes
