What Globulin measures
Globulins are a group of proteins including antibodies. Labs usually calculate this as total protein minus albumin.
If your Globulin is low
Globulin below the range is commonly associated with lower antibody production.
Commonly associated with
- Immune deficiency
- Some medications
- Protein loss
If your Globulin is high
Globulin above the range often reflects higher antibody or inflammatory protein levels.
Commonly associated with
- Chronic inflammation or infection
- Immune conditions
- Liver conditions
Typical reference range
| Group | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Adults | 1.9 – 3.7 g/dL |
Typical adult values used by many US labs. Your own report prints the range your lab validated for its method, and that range is the one that counts. Labwise always uses the printed range first.
If it is within range
Your globulin is within the range printed by your lab.
