![]() So proud, and so glad my hard work paid off. The Albumin to Globulin ratio (A:G) is the ratio of albumin present in serum in relation to the amount of globulin. and instead, I'm going to try and focus on my 87 triglycerides and 63 HDL. I'm going to do my damndest not to worry about the stupid A/G ratio until my one-month post-BP-med blood work comes back. do i need to worry A Verified Doctor answered Family Medicine 39 years experience See below: Low a/g ratio reflects liver disease. And really, my albumin is pretty normal, but my globulin is on the low side of normal, so the effect of the cortisone shot plus my hypothyroid could logically be it. my liver panel is as follows: pt high 9.1 (range 6.4-8.2), globulin high 4.9 (2.2-4.2), ag ratio low 0.9 (1.0-2.5) and everything else is normal. Let's look at all the disorders that may be responsible for this result: Dehydration (high levels of albumin, due to lack of water) Leukemia (impaired globulin production) Immunodeficiency, e.g., HIV or genetic disorders (impaired globulin production) or Drug. I JUST HAD A CORTISONE SHOT TWO WEEKS AGO, WHICH COULD SUPPRESS GLOBULIN (since immune proteins are globulins)!!!! Let's say that your AG ratio is 2.5, meaning it's way too high than it should be. I like the possibilities on WebMD better so I'm going with those! However, according to your page "A high A/G ratio suggests underproduction of immunoglobulins as may be seen in some genetic deficiencies and in some leukemias.". High total protein could be inflammatory, it's true, but my total protein isn't high. It sounded worse, so I cherrypicked the WebMD one. My doctor is terrible about phone calls, so I'm erring on the side of waiting, but I'd love some encouraging comments.Īnybody have experience with high A/G ratio? What was the experience?

I'm doing my bloodwork as package panels at Walk-In Labs and my blood pressure med recheck package will include a CMP plus CBC. If your blood Albumin Globulin ratio level is between 1 Ratio and 2.1 Ratio, you probably do not have an underlying health problem. High levels of Albumin Globulin ratio in the blood indicate a variety of health problems. It is also linked to low thyroid activity and …. Yes, I fully agree with you, you’re A/G ratio is 2.5, and they have mentioned it bit high, but please see this is not pointing towards anything significant. What does A/G ratio level 2.5 mean Your Albumin Globulin ratio level of 2.5 is a High Albumin Globulin ratio level. ![]() WebMD says it can be a "sign of disease in liver, kidney or intestine. I looked up the reasoning for high A/G ratio. I also know a person can have slightly high numbers and the doctor will say, no big deal, someone who has a real disease is going to be off the charts on this, whereas you're just a little bit high.etc, etc. I know that sometimes these blood tests can blip high and I know a person can run a bit high and it's "normal" for them. my Albumin/Globulin ratio is high, 2.7 when normal is up to 2.2. My bloodwork came back stellar, still consistently wimpy GFR of 70, but glucose fine, lipids phenomenal, everything else in normal range.except. So, I had my pre-blood pressure med baseline screen to make sure my potassium was fine. ![]()
