Serum albumin is useful in the
evaluation of nutritional status, oncotic pressure
within the vasculature, and the effects of renal and other
chronic diseases
Abnormal values of globulin indicate the need for
specific testing by serum protein electrophoresis.
A low A/G ratio demonstrates the severity and progression of the disease and indicates the need for specific additional data from serum protein electrophoresis
