Answered by Dr. Shanthi E (21 minutes later)

Brief Answer: nothing to be worried about Detailed Answer: Hello, I have read both the reports. They are not high to be alarming clinically. The S A/G ratio is altered because of the little lower globulin. This is not significant clinically at all. The values are important or have to be treated only when they run in hundreds. I hope it is clear to you. Hence, you need not worry or take any treatment for the same. Regards,
