Globulin Albumin Ratio Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Globulin Albumin Ratio (R) is:

\[ R = \frac{G}{A} \]

Where:

\( R \) is the globulin albumin ratio
\( G \) is the concentration of globulin (g/dL)
\( A \) is the concentration of albumin (g/dL)

What is a Globulin Albumin Ratio?

The globulin albumin ratio is a measure used to evaluate the relative amounts of globulin and albumin in the blood. Globulins are a group of proteins in the blood that play a role in liver function, blood clotting, and fighting infections. Albumin is the most abundant protein in the blood and helps maintain the osmotic pressure needed for proper distribution of body fluids between body tissues and the bloodstream. The ratio can provide valuable information about a person’s health, particularly in diagnosing liver disease, kidney disease, and other medical conditions.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Concentration of Globulin (G) = 3.2 g/dL
Concentration of Albumin (A) = 4.0 g/dL

Using the formula to calculate the Globulin Albumin Ratio:

\[ R = \frac{3.2}{4.0} = 0.80 \]

The Globulin Albumin Ratio is 0.80.
