Is The Elevated Globulin And Albumin Ratio Is Due To The Inflammation Caused Due To Gall Bladder Stones?

I am having gallbladder surgery on this Friday. I just got back all of the bloodwork from my hospital and they said normal but I noticed that my Globulin is 1.8 but normal levels say it should be 2.2-4.2. My Albumin is 4.5 which is normal. my ratio is 2.5 which seems slightly elevated. My glucose was also 98. Could this be affected from my gallbladder inflammation? I also hadnt had anything substatial to eat and was on iv fluids for two days when they took the test. My abdominal ct came back normal except for my gallstones.

Hi,Dear,Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.
Firstly let me tell you that your globulin level is not that much low to be worried about.
Second thing is globulin is a protein which is produced by liver and is responsible for the immunity.So as you know your gall bladder is having stones and not working so the level of globulin may decrease to help your body.
There is nothing to be worried about it.You will be absolutely fine.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.
