Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient Formula Elements

Variables
Ascites Albumin Gradient
The serum-ascites albumin gradient or gap (SAAG) is a calculation used in medicine to help determine the cause of ascites.
Symbol: SAAG
Measurement: CreatinineUnit: g/dL
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Serum Albumin Level
Serum Albumin Level is the levels of albumin in a person's blood. If the level indicates an abnormal amount of albumin, it may suggest a problem with the liver or kidneys.
Symbol: SAL
Measurement: CreatinineUnit: g/dL
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Ascites Albumin Level
Ascites Albumin Level determines the level of albumin which is a type of protein the liver produces. It’s one of the most abundant proteins in your blood that circulate throughout your blood to help your body maintain fluid balance.
Symbol: AA Level
Measurement: CreatinineUnit: g/dL
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
