Hello,
Thanks for writing to HealthcareMagic,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,
Normal range of protein in adult body is 6.0 to 8.3 gm/dl.
However it is important to know that normal range may vary slightly in different laboratories.
Your mentioned value is towards upper limit and generally it is not concerning.
It is good that other values are normal.
In short,there is nothing to be worried about.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your query.
