High immunoglobulin levels typically indicate an overactive immune response, which can occur due to various conditions such as infections, autoimmune diseases, or chronic inflammatory disorders. Elevated immunoglobulin levels may also be seen in conditions like multiple myeloma or other plasma cell disorders. It is essential to interpret these levels in the context of clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests for accurate diagnosis.
A low pH indicates high acidity levels.
Abnormal results are increased levels in those with a bleeding disorder or liver disease. With those taking heparin, low levels indicate the dose is too low, high levels indicate the dose is too high.

A high glycemic index indicates that a food can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels after consumption.
High levels of nitrates and phosphates in water indicate nutrient pollution, which can lead to excessive algae growth and eutrophication. This can harm aquatic ecosystems by reducing oxygen levels and causing algal blooms, which can be harmful to fish and other aquatic organisms. Monitoring and reducing these nutrient levels is important to maintain water quality.
Decreased renin levels may indicate increased blood volume due to a high-sodium diet, salt-retaining steroids, primary aldosteronism, licorice ingestion syndrome, or essential hypertension with low renin levels
Thyroglobulin levels can indicate the presence of thyroid cancer, monitoring of thyroid cancer treatment effectiveness, or the presence of autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. High levels can indicate thyroid cancer recurrence, while low levels can occur after thyroid surgery when the thyroid gland has been removed.
SGPT is primarily found in the liver. Low levels of SGPT may indicate deficiency of vitamin B6. Hepatitis can cause high levels.
Craving lemons can indicate that you are deficient in magnesium or iron. The desire for lemons may also indicate the presence of high levels of toxins.
High triglyceride levels are one sign of the metabolic syndrome, a collection of health risks that indicate a very high risk of heart disease and can also irritate the pancreas and can cause pancreatitis. It is important to be tested for diabetes and high bloodpressure.
