A/G Ratio

Liver Unit: ratio

Albumin to globulin ratio; reflects liver/immune status

Also known as: Albumin/Globulin Ratio

Reference Ranges

Clinical Reference 1.1 – 2.5 ratio
Optimal Range 1.5 – 2.2 ratio

Calculated ratio

Related Conditions

Chronic Inflammation Low
Liver Disease Low

Food & Lifestyle Recommendations

🍎 Food Increase dietary protein; reduce chronic inflammation drivers Supports albumin
🍎 Food Maintain hydration; rule out monoclonal issues Less common pattern

Evidence-Backed Supplements

When Low

  • Protein Tier B May Increase

    Increasing protein intake raises albumin and A/G ratio

Questions to Ask Your Doctor

  • Should we get serum protein electrophoresis to characterize the abnormality? Differentiates liver vs immune causes
  • Could this reflect dehydration or immunodeficiency? Less common but worth checking
