Albumin/Globulin
A total protein and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio test measures the total amount of protein in your blood. Proteins have many important functions, including giving your body energy, rebuilding muscles, and helping your immune system. Your body might make too much or too little protein if you have certain health conditions.
A total protein and A/G ratio test is often included as part of a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), a test that measures proteins and other substances in your blood. A total protein and A/G ratio test may also be used to help diagnose kidney disease, liver disease, or nutritional problems.
