A member asked:
Total protein serum was 8.3 in recent labs. 9 months ago it was 7.7. is recent increase cause for concern?

Need more info: 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. Having said that, the change in protein level per se is not of concern, however it needs to be determined why did the total level go up, especially if the gamma globulins have increased. You may discuss with your doctor if getting a serum protein electrophoresis is warranted.

Had labs done and my Kappa Free levels are 2.49 mg/dL , Lambda Free levels are 1.50 mg/Dl and my ratio is 1.66. Labs showed no serum monoclonal protein and other proteins Alpha1/2,A1,A2,Beta,Gamma came back normal. Should I be concerned?
I just had some lab work done. What would cause a low serum albumin level, high alpha 1 and 2 and high c-reactive protein and low vit d?
My labs came back today and my serum protein is 8.3. Is this normal or should I be worried? I have to go back in a month to get it tested.
Labs show serum albumin 3.9 (ref. Range 3.5-5.5)and globulin at 1.9 range (1.5-4.5) but says total serum protein low at 5.8 range(6.0-8.5) what gives?
