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.
Occasionally, a health practitioner will look at the ratio between a person's BUN and blood creatinine to help determine what is causing these concentrations to be higher than normal. The ratio of BUN to creatinine is usually between 10:1 and 20:1. An increased ratio may be due to a condition that causes a decrease in the flow of blood to the kidneys, such as congestive heart failure or dehydration. It may also be seen with increased protein, from gastrointestinal bleeding, or increased protein in the diet.
