Low prealbumin

Hey guys. I got my 3 month blood work back the other day and aside from vitamin A deficiency, I also had a low level of prealbumin. My NUT thought it was explained by low protein intake, but after she told me to get at least 60 grams a day, I told her I routinely get 80 grams a day, and she was stumped. She said not to worry, because the level wasn't super low, but I wanted to see if anyone here had any insight! I certainly don't want to be malnourishing my body, but I couldn't eat any more protein if I tried! Does anything else cause this low level?

It's really hard to say without knowing your history. I'm not sure what your level is, but if your level was critically low, your Dr would probably have been alerted. If you really want an answer on this, I'd recommend calling your Dr's office to discuss.
