I'm not sure now is it more like this? Pro7.6-Alb 3.6 = 4 globulin so ratio is 4:3.6 low??

If your globulin levels are normal you will have a total level of 6.0-8.4 gm/dL of protein in the blood stream. Ideally, this level will fall at 7.5 g/dL. This should be comprised approximately of 3.5-5 gm/dL of albumin and 2.3-3.5 gm/dL of globulin. Ideally, albumin levels will fall at 4.5-5/100 ml, alpha globulin levels will remain at .2-.3 g/L and beta globulin levels will fall at .7-1.0 g/L.
The proper globulin to albumin ratio is 1:2, though this can range from 1.7-2.2 and still remain healthy. If this ratio changes to an extreme level it can cause a number of health concerns. High levels of globulin can be caused by an overproduction of globulin, an underproduction of albumin or a loss of albumin. Albumin can be lost due to kidney disorders which lead to an excessive amount of protein being shed from the body.
Besides liver and other diseases
If you consume a high carb or high protein diet that is not being monitored, it can cause the body's retention of protein to suffer, which can also lead to an altered globulin ratio.
My ALPHA-2-MACROGLOBULIN 322 High mg/dL (110-276) from last July
It one of the blood samples used in the FibroTest an indirect diagnosis tool for fibrosis and liver activity My result
FS-ACTIVITY GRADE* (V2) A3 - Severe activity
FS-ACTIVITY SCORE* (V2) 0.73 High
FS-FIBROSIS SCORE* (V2) 0.64 High
FS-FIBROSIS STAGE* (V2) F3 - Bridging fibrosis many septa

GT2 waiting to start SOV/RBV in a couple of weeks
Blood test March 10, 2014 Either high or low results
ALANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE 150 High units/L 10-55
ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE 109 High units/L 6-32
NEUTROPHILS 2.3 Low K/mm3 2.4-6.8
PLATELETS 88 Low K/mm3 140-375
HEPATITIS C VIRUS RNA 816018
These are ok but but just to show for those that don't have s globulin result
ALBUMIN 3.6 g/dl 3.4-4.5
PROTEIN 7.6 g/dL 6.3-8.0
My globulin to albumin ratio is 7.6/3.6 = 2.11 just under the high limit 2.2
If my ALB was 3.4 & Pro was 8.0 (still just in the normal range) the ratio would be high at 2.35
No diabetes, compensated liver, BMI 36
Mine wasn't but I have heard that many people with HCV have that problem.
My ALT and AST were both above normal but all other blood tests were ok.
