Albumin_Globulin_Ratio_guideline v.1
Determines how the amount of albumin in blood compares with the other protein in the blood, globulins.
To determine how the amount of albumin in blood compares with the other protein in the blood, globulins.
Formula: A/G Ratio = Albumin in g/dL / (Total Protein in g/dL – Albumin in g/dL) Interpretation A/G ratios of less than 1 are clinically significant, indicating that globulin proteins exceed the albumin protein.
