A/G RATIO
The A/G Ratio test measures the proportion of albumin to globulin in the blood. Both are important proteins—albumin helps maintain fluid balance and transport substances, while globulin plays a key role in immune function. This ratio provides valuable information about overall protein balance and helps assess liver, kidney, and immune system health.
An abnormal A/G ratio may indicate underlying health conditions. A low A/G ratio can be seen in liver disease, kidney disorders, chronic infections, or autoimmune diseases where globulin levels are increased or albumin is decreased. A high A/G ratio may suggest conditions such as genetic deficiencies or reduced globulin production. Doctors often evaluate this ratio along with total protein, albumin, and globulin tests for accurate diagnosis.
The A/G Ratio test is simple and requires a small blood sample. Accurate results help doctors identify imbalances, diagnose underlying conditions, and guide appropriate treatment for maintaining overall health.
