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. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your may have been dehydrated when blood was collected. Calcium is appropriate for albumin level. Next time drink a few glasses of water 2 hours before blood draw. Wish you good health!
