Globulin

What This Marker Means

Globulins are a group of proteins involved in immunity, inflammation, and transport functions. High levels may indicate inflammation, while low levels may reflect liver or immune issues.

How Alcohol Affects This Marker

Alcohol can alter globulin levels through effects on immunity and inflammation. Chronic drinking often increases inflammatory globulins while reducing liver-produced proteins.

How to Discuss With Your Doctor

Ask how your globulin level fits within your overall protein balance. Discuss whether inflammation or liver stress from alcohol may influence the result.
