albumin/globulin ratio
norms, and diseases associated
norms, and diseases associated
Norm is greater than one. anything less than one is indicator of disease.
If liver malfunctions Alb goes down, but total unaffected.
Hyperproteinemia-lots of protein in blood stream
causes: dehydration (proportionate decrease in all fractions
or multiple myeloma-increases in one clone of Ig but alb does not change->low alb/glu
Hypoproteinemia-
decrease protein in blood
alb/glb ratio decreased
decreased intake-malnutrition or malabsorption-=-> no change or decrease in ratio
