What is the Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio?
The Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio is a blood test that measures the balance between two types of proteins in the blood: albumin and globulin. These proteins are important for various functions, including maintaining osmotic pressure, transporting substances, and supporting the immune system. The A/G ratio provides valuable information about liver function, kidney health, and immune status.

• Albumin is produced by the liver and helps maintain fluid balance and transport hormones, vitamins, and enzymes.
• Globulins include a group of proteins that are involved in immune responses and include antibodies.

Purpose of the Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio:

1. Assessing Liver Function:
   Low A/G ratios may suggest liver disease or cirrhosis, where the liver produces insufficient albumin.

2. Detecting Kidney Disease:
   Abnormal A/G ratios can indicate kidney disease, where proteins are lost in urine.

3. Diagnosing Immune Disorders:
   High levels of globulin and a low A/G ratio can be associated with autoimmune diseases or chronic infections.

4. Monitoring General Health:
   Often measured as part of routine health assessments to detect early signs of disease.

When is the Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio Recommended?

• Liver or Kidney Disease:
  If symptoms like jaundice, fluid retention, or fatigue are present, this test helps assess liver and kidney function.

• Chronic Infections or Immune Disorders:
  In cases of prolonged infections or suspected autoimmune diseases, the test can help evaluate the immune response.

• Nutritional Assessment:
  It may be part of a nutritional panel to check for malnutrition or protein imbalances.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (venipuncture).

Preparation for the Test:

• Fasting: Fasting is not typically required but follow any specific instructions given by your doctor.
• Medications: Inform your doctor about any medications, as they might affect protein levels.

How the Test Works:

1. A blood sample is drawn and sent to the lab.
2. The levels of albumin and globulin in the blood are measured.
3. The A/G ratio is calculated by dividing the amount of albumin by the amount of globulin.
4. Normal A/G Ratio: Typically ranges from 1.1 to 2.5, though this may vary slightly between labs.

Abnormal A/G Ratios:

• Low A/G Ratio: May indicate liver disease, kidney disease, or an overproduction of globulin (as seen in autoimmune disorders or multiple myeloma).
• High A/G Ratio: May indicate a decrease in globulin production, possibly due to immune deficiencies or other conditions affecting globulin synthesis.
