A/G ratio is a test that compares the concentrations of albumin and globulin in the blood
Why this test is done
The purpose the test is to measure the ratio of albumins to globulins.
Since its results give insight into your nutritional status and immune function, this blood test is also useful for diagnosing and monitoring many health conditions.
also used to screen and monitor kidney disease, chronic infections, various cancers, and more.
Results & Interpretation
The normal range for albumin/globulin ratio is over 1.... That’s because there’s a bit more albumin than globulin in serum protein.
If your body is producing too much or too little of either protein, your A/G ratio will be classified as high or low
Low A/G ratio
A low A/G ratio could indicate...
your albumin levels are too low ...that is (hypoalbuminemia),
or your globulin levels are too high.
Overall, a low A/G ratio result is associated with the following...
kidney disease
liver disease,
chronic infections
malnutrition
pancreatitis
autoimmune diseases
certain cancers
type 2 diabetes
High A/G ratio
High albumin concentration can be caused either.... by overproduction of albumin by the liver, ....or when serum levels are too low.
Hyperalbiminuria can be due to severe dehydration or diarrhea,
A high A/G result might also indicate low levels of globulin, which are found in people with antibody deficiencies meaning a weakened immune system
