Low Globulin level

I posted this question previously, but never got much of a response and I think the old thread is closed.

Question:

Has anybody had low globulin levels as a result of liver disease? I have low globulin and a boderline protein count of 6.2. My Albumin is fine though at 4.5, so I am wondering if I am dealing with a liver metabolism problem or an immune reaction. I am having a electrophoresis done to break out the globulins, so that should hopefully provide some answers.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

The question is out of my realm of knowledge (a small realm at that) but here is something that might help with understanding more about it. I read it and it was very interesting.

Thanks very much for your responses. I had not come across these particular breakdown explanations and they are helpful. Hopefully, the electrophoresis will provide more answers.
