32yr male, ~18%bf, 190lb. I haven’t worked out in a few weeks but have counted calories for years now so diet is good. I just did a blood work and got the following results as high:
Albumin: 5.2 (Reference range: 3.6-5.1)
Albumin/Globulin ratio: 2.7 (1.0-2.5)
LDL: 101 (<=99)
After some reading I read that a high Albumin could be harmless and just from eating a high protein diet. Is that true or is there possible concern?
Even though I’m not currently working out, I do still eat a high protein diet 160g+ per day. I’m a little surprised by the high LDL levels considering my age and diet. I always have my weight in check (gain when I want, lose when I want, stay the same when I want). I did eat out the day before the test, but I eat at home 90% of all meals (implying no snuck in fats, salt or other goodies that I wouldn’t be accounting for). I don’t limit my fats/red meat though as long as its within my protein and calories budget. Is that a potential problem?
Thanks
