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 results are not a cause for concern. Wish you good health!

Testing for AL amyloid. SPEP shows no M-spike but mildly elevated total protein & A/G ratio (2.7) due to high albumin. Globulins well within normal range. Worrisome? Serum/urine IFE &marrow biopsy ok, but elevated free K/L ratio due to low lambda.

My globulin level is 1.6 (low) and albumin/globulin ratio is 2.9 (high). My protein total random UR is less than 4 (low). My kidney/liver function both tested out fine. What is the likely cause of these ratios being out of the reference range?
