Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Gamma Globulins Level Of 2.79 With In Normal Range?
I recently received blood work results which indicated my total protein count was high (9.1 g/dl). My primary care physician then ordered a few other labs including a serum electrophoresis. The results of that test indicated my gamma globulins are elevated (2.79 g/dl). My Lambda flc was elevated, however the kappa/lambda ratio was within standard range. I understand that the gamma globulins are the antibodies and when elevated can indicate inflammation or disease. Is 2.79 a serious range? I am scheduled to see a hematologist, but until my appointment I want to become as informed as possible. I am also anemic and have tested positive for ANA since 2000. Since that time, I have been told by medical professionals that I have a predisposition for autoimmune conditions, although I have not had enough symptoms to be diagnosed. I appreciate any information or expertise you may be able to give to me. Thank you.
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your globulin is slightly high. In case of infection it is poly clonal in nature. In paraproteinemia rise of globulin is monoclonal. Please send me your serum electrophoresis report so that I can help you further. you should also check your ESR and bense johns protein. your protein spike is poly clonal then no need to worry.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
