My husband's bloodwork came back with low albumin and a high albumin/globulin ratio. Nothing bad and the dr said nothing about it. But what does it mean?

I looked here and really there were so many variables I couldn't come away with anything.

Anybody?

If the globulins are the bigest part of the albumin that means body is producing antibodies and reacting to something eg. allergy,bacteria ,viruses,yeast ,parasites and the list goes on.
Hope it helps.
