Blood protein levels low

I recently left the hospital after some ERCP pain (potential Pancreatitis flare.) The ERCP was to remove stones. I just checked some lab reports, and my blood protein is low (5 on a 6.4-8.9 range.) My Alumbumin, hemoglobin and red blood cells were below range as well. Any thoughts on whether this is related to the Pancreatitis issues and stones? I’m not sure why no one mentioned it to me. Thanks.

    I get ERCPs every other month and my levels will fluctuate. Your body is trying to fight/heal and if they were drastically low then your doctor should tell you. I wouldn’t worry about it. It normally takes me at least two weeks to heal and my levels to return to normal.
