FAQs

Is a 3.1 A/G ratio bad? ›

A test result with a ratio less than 1 or more than 2.5 is considered bad.

To determine the A/G Ratio, the concentration of albumin and globulins in the blood is measured; subsequently, the A/G Ratio is calculated by dividing the albumin concentration by the globulin concentration. Fasting is typically required for this test.

A normal A/G ratio is between 1.1 and 2.5, although this can vary by lab. A low A/G ratio may be due to kidney disease, liver disease, chronic infections, type 2 diabetes, malnutrition, certain autoimmune diseases, and cancers.

There is no single treatment for a high or low A/G result, as this will vary depending on the underlying health condition. Treatment will also depend on any other exams or tests your doctor performs regarding your symptoms.

Low A/G ratio: This might be the sign an autoimmune disorder, where your body's immune system attacks healthy cells. It can also point to kidney disease or cirrhosis, which is inflammation and scarring of the liver. In some cases, a low A/G ratio can be a sign of a tumor in your bone marrow.

Results more than 3.5 g/dL for globulin and more than 2.5 for an albumin/globulin ratio are considered high. But being on bed rest for too long, dehydration, and problems during the blood draw can also cause a high reading. Your healthcare provider will likely order additional tests.

The A/G ratio is a measure of the amount of albumin proteins in blood compared to globulins. Typically, your body has slightly more albumin than globulins. A normal A/G ratio is slightly more than 1.

A fibre with a g ratio of 0.6 will have the maximum conduction velocity for its length. Note that the theory applies to a generic (peripheral and central) myelinated axon. The optimal g-ratio was obtained from purely theoretical considerations, namely by maximising conduction velocity in the equation.

Albumin is protein in your blood plasma. Low albumin levels might be the result of kidney disease, liver disease, inflammation or infections. High albumin levels are usually the result of dehydration or severe diarrhea.

Normal value ranges are: Serum globulin: 2.0 to 3.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or 20 to 35 grams per liter (g/L)

What is the Ag ratio in a liver function test? ›

The test also compares the amount of albumin in your blood to the amount of globulin. The comparison is called the albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio. If your total protein levels or A/G ratio results are not normal, it can be a sign of a serious health problem.

Corticosteroid-binding globulin deficiency is a condition with subtle signs and symptoms, the most frequent being extreme tiredness (fatigue), especially after physical exertion. Many people with this condition have unusually low blood pressure (hypotension).

A low A/G ratio has been associated with many illnesses, which may be related to inflammation or certain cancer such as myeloma. The A/G ratio can be decreased with short-term problems that cause inflammation, such as tissue trauma or infection, chronic inflammatory conditions, and nutritional problems.

Total serum protein = Albumin + Globulin Globulin =Total serum protein – Albumin = 6.82- 3.93 = 2.89 gm/dL So, A/G ratio = Albumin / Globulin = 3.93 / 2.89 A/G ratio = 1.35 gm/dL (Ans.)

Normal Results

Normal value ranges are: Serum globulin: 2.0 to 3.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or 20 to 35 grams per liter (g/L) IgM component: 120 to 400 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 1.2 to 4 g/L. IgG component: 800 to 1600 mg/dL or 8 to 16 g/L.

High blood protein is an increase in the concentration of protein in the bloodstream. The medical term for high blood protein is hyperproteinemia. High blood protein is not a specific disease or condition, but it might indicate you have a disease. High blood protein rarely causes symptoms on its own.

If your total protein level is low, you may have a liver or kidney problem, or it may be that protein isn't being digested or absorbed properly. A high total protein level could indicate dehydration or a certain type of cancer, such as multiple myeloma, that causes protein to accumulate abnormally.

Optimal Result: 1.5 - 4.5 g/dL, or 15.00 - 45.00 g/L. What is globulin? Globulin is a protein and is made in the liver. High levels may indicate autoimmune disease, infections or cancer. A low globulin reading may be a sign of liver or kidney disease.
