    For an adult male it's within normal parameters. For a female, it's in the upper limits of normal.

    Hi are you a male or female? generally maleas are a little higher than females, if the value you stated is in grams per decilitre, the answer is that 16 is not too high.

    Hope this helps

    16 what?

    Normal = 13 - 18 g/dl (male)

    11.5 - 15.5 g/dl (female)

    These are UK figures and based on the labs there and that the person is living at UK altitude.

    Ask a classified pathologist or a graded specialist in medicine. Please take it with due seriousness. I mean, don't neglect it, unduly.
