I understand your concern.
Gamma globulins are antiboies which in tandem with other antibodies gives body its resistance.
Gamma levels are not that high to be alarmed.
above 1400, may be worrysome.
High level are indicative of acute hepatitis, multiple slerosis or even AIDS.
But it needs to be interprete by a qualified physician, who along with so many other pathologicl results, can only interpret what the condition of the patient.
Wish your mother speedy recovery.
