A doctor can perform a set of blood tests known as a total protein, albumin, and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio.
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.
