What is Albumin Globulin Ratio?
Albumin globulin ratio or A/G ratio is a blood test, where the albumin value is divided by the globulin value. It is used to evaluate different liver diseases, kidney diseases as well as check the nutritional status of a patient. If a person experiences unexplained weight loss, fatigue or shows symptoms of liver diseases or kidney disorder, he or she is asked to take total protein or albumin globulin ratio test. The person needs to give a blood sample that is drawn from the vein in the arm by a phlebotomist. This blood sample is used to evaluate the albumin globulin ratio. Albumin Globulin Ratio Normal Range The albumin globulin ratio normal range is slightly over 1, that is, 0.8 – 2.0. In a total protein test, all the proteins in the plasma are measured, especially albumin and globulin. The albumin globulin ratio is calculated using the values obtained by direct measurement of total protein and albumin. You can read more on normal albumin levels.
