Globulin 18.7 should refer to a serum globulin concentration of 18.7 g/L, which is a mild decrease and can be kept under observation.
Clinically, the normal range of serum globulin concentration is 20~30g/L, and lower than 20g/L can be regarded as a decrease in globulin concentration. However, the serum globulin concentration of 18.7g/L is a small decrease compared to the normal value, and can continue to be observed. If the patient’s globulin continues to decline, it is recommended to do further examination to clarify the cause of the disease.
Globulin includes a variety of proteins, including immunoglobulin and complement, which have a defense role, and a variety of glycoproteins.
The cause of decreased globulin concentration is mainly a decrease in synthesis, which can be seen in infants and children younger than 3 years old, patients with long-term use of cortisol hormones or immunosuppressive drugs, and congenital hypogammaglobulinemia. However, in order to clarify the reasons for the decrease of globulin concentration, it is necessary to carry out examinations under the guidance of specialized doctors according to the clinical manifestations of the patients.
To summarize, serum globulin level of 18.7g/L suggests a mild decrease in globulin concentration, and it is recommended to continue to observe, and if the globulin concentration continues to decrease, it is necessary to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
