Albumin/Globulin Ratio (A/G)
The albumin-to-globulin ratio compares liver-made albumin with immune and transport globulins and is calculated from the total protein and albumin measurements. Low ratios can indicate chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease, liver disease, or multiple myeloma, while high ratios suggest low antibody production. It helps direct further workup such as serum protein electrophoresis.

What is Albumin/Globulin Ratio (A/G)?
The albumin-to-globulin ratio compares liver-made albumin with immune and transport globulins and is calculated from the total protein and albumin measurements. Low ratios can indicate chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease, liver disease, or multiple myeloma, while high ratios suggest low antibody production. It helps direct further workup such as serum protein electrophoresis.
Why It Matters
Compares albumin (made by liver) to globulins (immune proteins). Abnormal ratios may indicate liver disease, kidney disease, immune disorders, or chronic inflammation. Helps narrow down the cause of protein abnormalities.
