I had bloodwork done last week and a complete metabolic panel. Everything came back normal, except my A/G ratio was slightly higher than what the lab considers in the normal range. I asked my doctor and he said don't worry, that it was nothing, and then he hung up the phone. I googled what a high A/G ratio can mean and I saw where it said it could indicate certain leukemias and I got upset. Am I worrying for nothing? Also, why is my A/G ratio high when my albumin and globulin levels are totally normal? My scores are below:
Protein, total, serum: 6.9 g/dl normal lab range: 6.0 - 8.5
Albumin, serum: 5.0 g/dl normal lab range: 3.5 - 5.5
Globulin, total: 1.9 g/dl normal lab range: 1.5 - 4.5
A/G ratio: 2.6 normal lab range: 1.1 - 2.5
