what is the significance of the albumin/globulin ratio
The calculated ratio of albumin to globulins is termed as the A/G ratio. Normally, the albumin is slightly more than the globulins, giving a normal A/G ratio of slightly over 1. The optimal range of A/G ratio is 1.7-2.2. Globulin and albumin levels indicate the quantity and kind of protein that is present in the blood. They give a general picture of overall nutrition and health.
