A member asked:
How to know if i am immunocompromised? any test for it? because my infections take a long time to heal. i have taken blood test before to test for globulin, unsure if that is the term to look out for when testing for immunity function?

The immune system has many parts that can be evaluated through different types of testing. Write down all the issues you consider worrisome and seek out a specialist in immunology. They can order testing based on your history and exam findings to see what if any vulnerabilities your system has. There is no one test. The immunoglobulin levels are only one of a series of such tests.

WCC, platelets, neutrophils, monocytes, globulin, AST, ALT GGT & lactate dehydrogenase 2-3 times the high range in a blood test. Should I be concerned
Routine blood tests recently indicated that my urea level suddenly exceeded the normal reference range (10.9 mmol/L) and my globulin level fell below the normal reference range (20g/L) for the first time ever. Is this unusual? Other results normal.
I received blood results that indicate high protein (8.6) and globulin (4.1) what might this indicate, does it warrant further testing?
