WHY DO WE RECEIVE PURPLE, BLUE, RED AND WHITE RIBBONS IN 4-H Author: kcarrier Created Date: 3/1/2010 3:00:49 PM
Elevated values may indicate chronic infections and should be followed-up by your personal physician. A/G Ratio is a ratio between Albumin and Globulin. Provided Albumin and Globulin values are normal, a high or low ratio is not significant. Total Bilirubin is a bile pigment. It normally circulates in the plasma and is taken up by liver cells.
Some laboratories report total protein, albumin, and the calculated ratio of albumin to globulins, termed the A/G ratio. Normally, there is a little more albumin than globulins, giving a normal A/G ratio of slightly over 1. Because disease states affect the relative amounts of albumin and globulin, the A/G ratio may provide a clue as to the cause of the change in protein levels.
