About Albumin/Globulin Ratio
A/G Ratio is the ratio of albumin to globulin, used to assess liver and immune function.
The reasons for low A/G
A low A/G ratio can be caused by chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, liver disease, or kidney dysfunction. It may also indicate protein loss from inflammation or malabsorption. Addressing underlying conditions, ensuring adequate protein intake, and maintaining liver and kidney health can help restore balance.
The reasons for elevated A/G
A high A/G ratio is often due to dehydration, high albumin levels, or reduced globulin production. It may indicate excessive protein breakdown, nutritional deficiencies, or metabolic imbalances. Staying hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet, and treating any underlying conditions can help normalize levels.
Is it bad too have too high/low A/G?
Low A/G ratio may indicate immune suppression, chronic inflammation, or liver/kidney dysfunction, potentially leading to protein loss, fatigue, and increased disease susceptibility.
A persistently high A/G ratio may be associated with dehydration-related complications, malnutrition, or metabolic disorders affecting protein levels.
