XPost on another lab question...
I have been obsessing over my lab results, researching all the tests and values, even the ones in range.. And I still have a question..
Every single test (this has been 6 times in three years) my total protein is good (it has trended up from 6.5 to 8 over the years), and my albumen is good (steady at 4.7)..
But.. My prealbumen is consistently slightly low.. Like 18-19.7 over the tests. My dr says more protein, but my other protein number seem great to me, and I am not sure why the one number has been consistently low over three years no matter my diet. There has been tests where I was prob regularly getting 60g of protein a day, and tests where I was getting 120g a day.. Yet always slightly low..
Any ideas?

I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!
