Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Under normal circumstances the SAAG is < 1.1 because serum oncotic pressure (pulling fluid back into circulation) is exactly counterbalanced by the serum hydrostatic pressure (which pushes fluid out of the circulatory system).
Detailed explanation-2: -The SAAG is calculated by subtracting the ascitic albumin from the serum albumin value. If the SAAG is 1.1 g/dL or more, it is indicative of portal hypertension, which is seen in extensive hepatic metastases and portal vein thrombosis.
