chronic infections
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An autoimmune disease, such as lupus. Liver disease, including cirrhosis. Kidney disease.

Detailed explanation-2: -A low A/G ratio can also indicate chronic infections, cancers, and more. A high A/G ratio is associated with dehydration, malnutrition, and other gastrointestinal conditions. Your doctor might check your A/G ratio if you’re experiencing unexplained weight loss, extreme fatigue, or swelling.

Detailed explanation-3: -The normal threshold value of the albumin-to-globulin ratio is 1.0 to 2.0. Underproduction of albumin or overproduction of globulin leads to decrease of the albumin-to-globulin ratio. An inversed albumin-to-globulin ratio (IAGR, <1.0) is often found in patients with severe inflammatory liver diseases or cirrhosis.
