Book an Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio Test at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL and NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre providing state-of-the-art Pathology and Radiology facility. The Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio is a valuable measure that reveals how well your liver is functioning, kidney status, nutrition and immune function, and is thus measured with high accuracy in our advanced lab. This test can alert doctors if there is a problem with protein balance, and can help them diagnose several liver, kidney, and immune disorders. Using the expertise of our laboratory staff, we ensure accurate testing, reliability of our reporting, and timely results, which enable early diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
About Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio Test
This Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio Test examines the ratio of two major types of blood proteins (albumin to globulin). Albumin is made in the liver to help regulate fluid levels in the body and carries hormones, vitamins, and drugs around the body. The globulins are important for immunity, blood clotting, as well as regulating the transportation of various nutrients. An increased A/G ratio can be a result of disease of the liver, kidney disorders, long-term infections, autoimmune disorders, nutritional deficiencies, or some blood disorders. Advanced clinical biochemistry analysers enable Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy to offer accurate and reliable results for full protein evaluation.
What is an Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio Test?
The Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio Test is a type of blood test that measures a person's ratio of globulin to albumin in their blood. It is often performed in conjunction with Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, and Liver Function Tests (LFTs) to obtain an overall indication of health and the presence of illness/injury involving protein-based functions and protein depletion. The test aids in the determination of liver function and kidney function, immune function, and nutritional status.
Common Reasons for an Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio Test
Evaluation of liver disease
Assessment of kidney disorders
Investigation of abnormal protein levels
Diagnosis of autoimmune diseases
Evaluation of chronic infections
Assessment of nutritional deficiencies
Monitoring liver or kidney treatment
Routine health check-up
Conditions Evaluated
Liver Diseases
Helps assess liver disorders such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and impaired protein production.
Kidney Disorders
Supports the diagnosis of kidney diseases that cause excessive protein loss through urine.
Autoimmune Diseases
Assists in identifying abnormal globulin production associated with autoimmune conditions.
Chronic Infections
Helps detect persistent infections that may alter blood protein levels.
Nutritional Disorders
Evaluates protein deficiency caused by malnutrition or poor dietary intake.
Blood Protein Disorders
Supports the assessment of abnormal protein production seen in certain plasma cell and immune system disorders.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Your doctor may recommend an Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio Test if you:
Have symptoms of liver or kidney disease
Experience unexplained fatigue or swelling
Have abnormal liver function or total protein test results
Have suspected autoimmune or chronic inflammatory disease
Need evaluation of nutritional status
Require routine health screening or monitoring of chronic illnesses

Reporting: Within 6 hours*
Fasting is generally not required unless advised by your doctor or if the test is being performed as part of a comprehensive health profile.
Drink adequate water before the test to make blood collection easier.
Inform your doctor about all medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, or protein supplements you are taking.
Continue your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Inform the laboratory if you have any known liver disease, kidney disease, autoimmune disorder, or chronic infection.
Carry previous laboratory reports, if available, for comparison.
यदि डॉक्टर ने विशेष रूप से न कहा हो, तो इस जांच के लिए खाली पेट रहने की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।
जांच से पहले पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पिएं ताकि रक्त का नमूना आसानी से लिया जा सके।
यदि आप कोई दवा, विटामिन, हर्बल सप्लीमेंट या प्रोटीन सप्लीमेंट ले रहे हैं, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर या लैब को दें।
डॉक्टर की सलाह के बिना अपनी नियमित दवाएं बंद न करें।
यदि आपको लिवर की बीमारी, किडनी की बीमारी, ऑटोइम्यून रोग या कोई पुराना संक्रमण है, तो इसकी जानकारी लैब को अवश्य दें।
यदि आपके पास पहले की जांच रिपोर्ट हैं, तो उन्हें साथ लेकर आएं ताकि आवश्यकता होने पर तुलना की जा सके.
A healthcare professional will collect a small blood sample from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle.
The blood sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis of Albumin, Globulin, and the Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio.
The procedure usually takes 5–10 minutes.
Mild discomfort or slight bruising at the blood collection site may occur but usually resolves quickly.
Results are interpreted along with your medical history and other laboratory investigations, if required.
