Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com.
Dear madam,
Your albumin is 3.7 as per reports which is within normal range even though it is more close to the minimal value. The ratio may get altered if your globulin rises ( such as in case of any recent infections ) or when albumin decreases ( probably over-utilisation of albumin in the body when thyroid hormones are active ). I would suspect your thyroid status for the change in ratio. Since your TSH is low, along with the raised T3, it indicates hyperthyroidism. The synthyroid could have been responsible for this. I would advice that you consult your physician or an endocrinologist for further management of your thyroid status.
I suggest you to be on a good protein diet. Other than the Thyroid values, I do not see any of concern in your blood work.
Feel free to ask queries.
Regards.

Wonderful, just to clarify -
TSH can reduce Albumin
Globulin can increase with Albumin Decreases?
Do I understand that correctly?
Thank you!
Hello.
Let me clarify.
Albumin-Globulin ratio can decrease due to one of these two causes:
-An increase in Globulin, which can occur in infections.
OR
-A decrease in Albumin, which can occur due to various reasons. In your case, it is likely that your altered thyroid hormones could have affected its levels.
So either one can be a reason for the mildly decreased ratio in your case.
I hope that clarifies your doubt. Feel free to ask queries.
Thank you.
