• Low A/G ratio, should I be concerned?

I had recent lab work, and one of the abnormalities was globulins 4, albumin 3.8, resulting in a low ratio. I also had low AST (12), iron deficiency anemia, B12 and Vitamin D deficiency. I have autoimmune antiphospholipid syndrome, which has caused multiple clotting events. Should I be concerned or ask for additional testing?

A low A/G ratio have been associated with many etiologies (causes) and ilinesses which may be related to inflammation, or certain cancer such as myelomas. Can also be decreased in tissue trauma, infection, chronic inflammatory conditions, and nutritional problems. Please contact your healthcare provider for a complete evaluation. Thank you.
