Alpha 1 globulin
Globulins are a group of proteins in your blood. Some globulins are made by your liver. Others are made by your immune system. Globulins play an important role in liver and kidney function, blood clotting, and fighting infection. There are different types of globulins called alpha, beta, and gamma globulins.

These labs do not agree: the published adult ranges differ by up to 15%, so the same result can read as normal at one lab and be flagged at another — ABIM 0.2–0.4 · ARUP 0.19–0.46 g/dL. Both are real published values, shown as each lab states them.
