390 is slightly elevated but nothing concerning. It can be due to a number of reasons including an infection, I'm guessing the GP will just go through some questions to see if you're having any problems & do the usual blood pressure, HR checks.

Normal levels are below 100pg/mL... they may want to repeat the test to ensure it's accurate or follow up with more tests.
