Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG)
Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG) is used to determine the cause of ascites (fluid in the abdomen). A high SAAG indicates portal hypertension, often due to liver cirrhosis, while a low SAAG suggests other causes such as infection or cancer.
This diagnostic test helps in early detection and monitoring of health conditions. Regular testing ensures timely intervention and better health outcomes.
