Need more info: Do you have any symptoms? Why was the test done? Were you fasting when you had the blood drawn? Could you have been dehydrated at the time of blood collection? Did your doctor get concentration of individual proteins in blood? All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that.
