Usually, healthy kidneys do not pass on the albumin in the urine. Hence, if you have an absence of albumin in urine then you are having healthy kidneys.

When albumin levels are high the body is usually severely dehydrated.
A normal amount of albumin in your urine is less than 30 mg/g. Anything above 30 mg/g may mean you have kidney disease, even if your estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) number is above 60.
Globulins are a group of proteins in your blood. They are made in your liver by your immune system.
You are likely to suffer from liver disease, kidney disease or liver cell damage if your globulin or albumin levels are high.
