“Low A/G ratio, should I be concerned?”

I had recent lab work, and one of the abnormalities was globulins 4, albumin 3.8, resulting in a low ratio. I also had low AST (12), iron deficiency anemia, B12 and Vitamin D deficiency. I have autoimmune antiphospholipid syndrome, which has caused multiple clotting events. Should I be concerned or ask for additional testing?
