Hi doctor, I went to the doctor for a general physical examination and did the normal blood work. Everything came back normal, except my blood protein was 8.5 g/dL. She sent me for another blood test today, monoclonal protein test. I am worried sick until I get the test results. Should I be concerned if my other results like blood counts and platelets are within the normal range? I read that it can also mean that I was dehydrated. As I had a doctor's appointment, I did not drink and eat much before the tests. I only had half a cup of water since the previous evening before having the blood test. The doctor sent me for a monoclonal protein study today. Please help.
