It's included in the HealthieOne Complete test.
Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio
Explanation: The Albumin/Globulin (A/G) ratio compares the levels of albumin (a protein made by the liver) to globulins (a group of proteins involved in immune function and transport). It helps assess liver health, kidney function, and immune system activity.
Test purpose: The A/G ratio blood test is used to evaluate:
- Liver function: Low A/G ratio may indicate liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis, hepatitis).
- Kidney function: Imbalances can suggest kidney disease where proteins are lost in urine.
- Immune disorders: A low A/G ratio can be linked to autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, or multiple myeloma.
- Nutritional status: Helps assess protein imbalances in the body.
