Albumin/Globulin Ratio
The albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio is a calculated number comparing your albumin to your globulin. It's found by dividing your albumin by your globulin (total protein minus albumin).
The ratio can highlight shifts between these two protein groups that a total protein value alone might miss, helping point toward liver, kidney, or immune-related patterns.
A higher ratio, meaning relatively more albumin, is less common and usually interpreted alongside the individual proteins rather than alone.
A lower ratio, meaning relatively more globulin, can accompany inflammation, infection, or certain immune or liver conditions; it's a clue that prompts further evaluation.
There's no single target; the ratio is interpreted with albumin, globulin, and your clinical context. Your clinician can explain what yours suggests.
