WHAT IS AN A G RATIO TEST?
The A G Ratio test measures the total amount of Albumin and Globulin, which are two types of proteins found in the body. The test also analyzes and compares the quantities of albumin and globulin, and thus makes a calculation of the ratio of the two proteins. A change in the value of the ratio indicates that there is also a change in the protein levels.
WHAT IS AN A G RATIO TEST USED FOR?
An A G Ratio test is used to determine and calculate the ratio of Albumin and Globulin, which are:
- ALBUMIN: Albumin is produced in the liver and it constitutes to about 60% of the total protein. Albumin stops the leakage of fluid from the blood vessels. It also moisturizes tissues and transfers hormones, drugs, vitamins, and other substances such as calcium all through the body.
- GLOBULIN: The remaining 40% of the total protein count is made up by the Globulin. It is a varied protein group, some of which is formed in the liver and some is produced in the immune system. Globulin aids in fighting infection and transfer nutrients.
WHEN TO CONDUCT AN A G RATIO TEST?
Your health practitioner might ask you to conduct an A G Ratio test as part of your routine checkup.
