Physiological Reference Ranges

The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.

Adults (general)

0.9 – 2 g/L

Adult females

0.9 – 2 g/L

Adult males

0.9 – 2 g/L

Common alternative units:
mg/dL(×0.01 g/L)

What does a low result mean?

A reading below reference ranges suggests evaluating protein phenotyping to characterize natural protective levels.

What does a high result mean?

A slightly elevated level is common and reassuring during minor inflammation or with estrogen contraception.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Does this confirm adequate protective capacity for my lungs and liver?
  • Could minor recent inflammation have prompted this healthy rise?
  • Is phenotyping recommended?
