A/G Ratio

The A/G Ratio Test, also known as the Albumin-to-Globulin Ratio Test, is a blood test used to measure the ratio of two major proteins in the blood: albumin and globulin.

Albumin helps maintain fluid balance and transports various substances throughout the body, while globulins play important roles in immune function and other biological processes.

This test helps healthcare professionals evaluate blood protein balance and investigate conditions that may affect the liver, kidneys, immune system and overall protein levels.

What Does This Test Check?

• Albumin levels in the blood

• Globulin levels in the blood

• Albumin-to-Globulin (A/G) ratio

• Abnormal blood protein balance

Sample Requirements

• Sample Type: Clot or Serum

• Sample Quantity: 2–3 ml

• Test Category: Laboratory – Clinical Biochemistry

Patient Preparation

• Fasting is generally not required for this test alone.

• Inform your healthcare provider about medications and supplements.

• Follow any specific preparation instructions provided by the laboratory.

Relevant Conditions

• Liver Disorders

• Kidney Disorders

• Protein Imbalance

• Certain Immune System Disorders

• Abnormal Blood Protein Levels

Important Information

An abnormal A/G ratio does not confirm a specific disease. Results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional alongside albumin, globulin and other relevant laboratory findings.

Please confirm test availability and sample collection requirements with the laboratory before booking.
