What Does An Increased Globulin Level Suggest?
Question: I did a comprehensive medical test last week and one of the results showed a 'GLOBULIN' of 3.52 which is outside normal range of 1.5-3.5. What is the immediate and future implication of this reading? Best regards
Another reading from the 'LIPID PROFILE' test showed a HDL Cholesterol reading of 257.6 which is outside the normal range of 130-230. My LDL Cholesterol also gave a figure of 166.3 which is outside the normal range of 100-129. Kindly elucidate on this readings. Is there any cause for worry on my part? What do i need to be doing going forward? Thanks

Brief Answer:
Not worry but you need diet preferences!
Detailed Answer:
Hi! thanks for your health query!
Globulin is increased when there is infection, inflammation, cancer or liver diseases; but you have acceptable value..therefore not to worry until you have some health problem like fever, jaundice, loss of appetite/weight etc...!
High levels of cholesterol/LDL are warning XXXXXXX indicators (for stroke, high BP etc) and you need to take fat-restricted foods, fresh fruits and vegs and also take fish/fish products, soybean/sunflower oils (rich in unsaturated fatty acids) and review the levels after 3 months.
You could see a dietician for a food plan.
Wishing you good health,
