before i answer, just to point out an
issue about the units...
normal albumin range of 3.5-5 is in terms
of g/dl (that is grams per decilitre, not
grams per litre)
i presume your result was 3.0 g/dl
this is a little bit on the low side of
normal, but this may or may not be
significant. definitely nothing to be
alarmed about until we know a bit more and
repeat the tests to check.
It also depends on whether you have any
other symptoms.
why did you have your liver function tests
done in the first place? was it routine or
have you been unwell in any way recently?
tell me a bit more about whats been
happening, and then i'll be able to get
back to you with a clearer answer.
