To be expected: Serum globulin levels often run high when the liver is not working properly. Nobody really knows why, but managing your hepatitis long-term is more important. Don't try to treat a number.

U can't bring it: Down on your own. The elevated globulin is due to your hepatitis which should be treated and managed by your dr. Take care!
