Globulin, Serum (Calculated)

Globulin is a group of blood proteins that includes antibodies and transport proteins. This value is usually calculated by subtracting your albumin from your total protein.

Why it matters

Globulins play a big role in immune defense and in carrying substances through the blood. Their level helps your clinician assess immune activity, inflammation, and liver health.

If it runs high

A higher globulin can accompany chronic inflammation, infection, or certain immune and blood conditions. Because it's a broad category, your clinician may order more specific tests to understand the cause.

If it runs low

A lower globulin can relate to immune or kidney conditions, and is interpreted alongside albumin and your overall picture.

What to aim for

A typical range is roughly 2.0 to 3.5 g/dL, though it varies by lab. Your clinician can interpret your value.
