What Albumin/Globulin Ratio measures
The ratio of albumin to globulin, calculated from the two protein values.
If your Albumin/Globulin Ratio is low
A lower ratio usually means low albumin or raised globulin.
Commonly associated with
- Low albumin
- Raised globulin from inflammation
If your Albumin/Globulin Ratio is high
A higher ratio usually means low globulin rather than high albumin.
Commonly associated with
- Low globulin
Typical reference range
| Group | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Adults | 1 – 2.5 ratio |
Typical adult values used by many US labs. Your own report prints the range your lab validated for its method, and that range is the one that counts. Labwise always uses the printed range first.
If it is within range
The ratio of albumin to globulin is within the typical range.
