Reference Range(s) The major proteins seen in the serum are albumin and globulin-the latter being primarily alpha 1 and alpha 2 globulin, beta globulin and gamma globulin. Albumin accounts for more than 50% of the total serum proteins. The albumin to globulin (A/G) ratio has been used as an index of disease state, however, it is not a specific marker for disease because it does not indicate which specific proteins are altered. The normal A/G ratio is 0.8-2.0. The A/G ratio can be decreased in response to a low albumin or to elevated globulins.
The total protein test measures the total amount of protein in your blood and specifically looks for the amount of albumin and globulin. This test will also look at the ratio of albumin to globulin in your blood. This is known as the âA/G ratio.â
