Albumin-to-Globulin Ratio (A/G)

Albumin-to-globulin ratio = albumin / (total protein - albumin), both in g/dL; a lower value is less favorable and interpretation is context-dependent (typical range ~1.1-2.5).

Example

Serum albumin
4.0 g/dL
Total protein
7.0 g/dL

Result: Albumin-to-globulin ratio 1.33 (globulin 3 g/dL) — a lower value is less favorable; interpretation is context-dependent (typical range ~1.1-2.5).

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

value
A/G = albumin / (total protein - albumin). Typical range ~1.1-2.5; a low or reversed ratio (< ~1) flags inflammation, paraproteinemia, or protein loss. A lower A/G is less favorable.
