Globulins are a group of proteins in your blood. They are made in your liver by your immune system.
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.
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.
Typically, your blood albumin levels will rise if you have microalbuminuria.
