AG Ratio

What is AG Ratio Test?

The AG Ratio Test checks the balance of albumin and globulin in your blood. These proteins help your body work properly and stay healthy. This test helps doctors understand how well your liver, kidneys, and immune system are working. The AG ratio is calculated by comparing the levels of albumin and globulin in the blood.

Why is AG Ratio Test Done?

Doctors order this test to screen for or monitor liver diseases (like cirrhosis or hepatitis), kidney disorders (such as nephrotic syndrome), autoimmune conditions, chronic infections, and certain cancers. An abnormal AG ratio can indicate inflammation, infection, or protein imbalance in the body.
