Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what is the normal albumin to globulin ratio?
A
1:2
B
6:10
C
1:4
D
2:1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The normal range for albumin/globulin ratio is over 1, usually around 1 to 2. That’s because there’s a bit more albumin than globulin in serum protein. If your body is producing too much or too little of either protein, your A/G ratio will be classified as high or low.

Detailed explanation-2: -Normal value ranges are: Serum globulin: 2.0 to 3.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or 20 to 35 grams per liter (g/L) IgM component: 75 to 300 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 750 to 3, 000 milligrams per liter (mg/L)

Detailed explanation-3: -The albumin value is divided by the globulin value to get the ratio. The ratio is primarily used to evaluate liver function but also is an indicator of many other possible problems. The albumin/globulin ratio normal levels are from 0.8 to 2.0.
