Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Ascites Albumin Gradient = Serum Albumin Level-Ascites Albumin Level
SAAG = SAL-AA Level
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Ascites Albumin Gradient - (Measured in Kilogram per cubic meter) - The serum-ascites albumin gradient or gap (SAAG) is a calculation used in medicine to help determine the cause of ascites.
Serum Albumin Level - (Measured in Kilogram per cubic meter) - 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.
Ascites Albumin Level - (Measured in Kilogram per cubic meter) - 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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Serum Albumin Level: 5.5 Gram per Deciliter --> 55 Kilogram per cubic meter (Check conversion here)
Ascites Albumin Level: 4.2 Gram per Deciliter --> 42 Kilogram per cubic meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SAAG = SAL-AA Level --> 55-42

Evaluating ... ...

SAAG = 13

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

13 Kilogram per cubic meter -->1.3 Gram per Deciliter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.3 Gram per Deciliter <-- Ascites Albumin Gradient

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Creatinine Clearance Value for Female

Go Creatinine Clearance Value For Female (mL/min) = 0.85*(140-Age)*(Weight)/(72*Serum Creatinine*100)

Creatinine Clearance Value for Male

Go Creatinine Clearance Value For Male (mL/min) = (140-Age)*(Weight)/(72*Serum Creatinine*100)

Calcium - Globulin Correction

Go Calcium-Globulin Correction = (100*Measured total calcium+0.16*(Measured Serum Globulin/10-3.5))/100

Urine Albumin to Creatinine Ratio

Go Urine Albumin to Creatinine Ratio = (Urine Albumin)/(Urine Creatinine)

Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient

What is Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient?

Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient defines presence of portal hypertension in patients with ascites. It is more useful than the total protein concentration of ascitic fluid in the classification of ascites. This gradient is physiologically based on oncotic-hydrostatic balance and is related directly to portal pressure. A high gradient (> 1.1 g/dL, >11g/L) indicates the ascites is due to portal hypertension, either liver related or non-liver related, with approximately 97% accuracy. This is due to increased hydrostatic pressure within the blood vessels of the hepatic portal system while a low gradient (< 1.1 g/dL, <11 g/L) indicates causes of ascites not associated with increased portal pressure such as: tuberculosis, pancreatitis, infections.

How to Calculate Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient?
