About Globulin
Globulins are proteins that help with immune function and blood clotting.
The reasons for low GLOB
Low globulin can be caused by liver disease, kidney disease, or protein malnutrition. Addressing underlying organ function and improving protein intake can help.
The reasons for elevated GLOB
High globulin levels can indicate infections, chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, or multiple myeloma. Managing the underlying condition and reducing chronic inflammation can help regulate globulin levels.
Is it bad too have too high/low GLOB?
Low globulin levels can impair immune function and blood clotting ability.
High globulin levels can indicate chronic infections, liver disease, autoimmune conditions, or certain cancers like multiple myeloma.
