# Albumin/Globulin Ratio

Albumin/Globulin Ratio is a comparison of the levels of albumin and globulins in the blood. An abnormal ratio may indicate liver disease, kidney disease, or other health problems.

## iollo markers that associate with Albumin/Globulin Ratio

### Alanine

Alanine is a key substrate for albumin synthesis in the liver. Changes in alanine levels may reflect altered albumin production and impact the albumin/globulin ratio.

### Glutamine

Glutamine is an important fuel source for rapidly dividing cells including hepatocytes. Glutamine deficiency may impair albumin synthesis and decrease the albumin/globulin ratio.
