A high albumin/globulin ratio suggests underproduction of immunoglobulins as may be seen in some genetic deficiencies and in some leukemias. Further, a high A/G ratio can be a sign of disease in your liver, kidney, or intestines. It's also linked to low thyroid activity and leukemia.
An albumin blood test is used to check your general health and to see how well your liver and kidneys are working.
When albumin levels are high the body is usually severely dehydrated.
Usually, healthy kidneys do not pass on the albumin in the urine. Hence, if you have an absence of albumin in urine then you are having healthy kidneys.
