Albumin:Globulin Ratio (A:G) is a clinical biomarker used in metabolic-diabetes assessment. The A:G ratio is a simple index of the relative proportions of albumin and globulin. It is measured in 1 laboratory test on BiomarkersLabs.com.
The A:G ratio is a simple index of the relative proportions of albumin and globulin. It falls when albumin is low or globulin is high, and rises when albumin is disproportionately preserved or globulin is reduced.
A low ratio (<1.0) is seen in cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, and gammopathies; a high ratio may reflect immunodeficiency. It is a screening flag rather than a specific diagnosis.
