What to do if the white ball ratio is low
Recently, the issue of "low white-to-ball ratio" in health examinations has become a hot topic. Many people feel confused or even anxious after discovering abnormalities in this indicator in their physical examination reports. This article will combine the hot content of the entire network in the past 10 days to conduct a structured analysis of the causes, hazards and countermeasures of low white ball ratio to help everyone respond scientifically.
1. What is white ball ratio?

The white-to-globulin ratio (A/G ratio) is an important indicator in blood biochemical examinations. It refers to the concentration ratio of albumin (Albumin) and globulin (Globulin) in the serum. The normal range is 1.5-2.5. If it is lower than 1.5, it indicates that the white ball ratio is low.
| indicator | normal range | clinical significance |
|---|---|---|
| Albumin (g/L) | 35-55 | Reflects liver synthesis function |
| Globulin (g/L) | 20-35 | Reflect immune status |
| white ball ratio | 1.5-2.5 | Assess liver and immune system health |
2. Common reasons for low white ball ratio
According to recent hot discussions on medical forums and health platforms, the low white ball ratio is mainly related to the following factors:
| Classification | specific reasons | Proportion (reference) |
|---|---|---|
| Liver disease | Cirrhosis, hepatitis, liver cancer | 45% |
| Malnutrition | Insufficient protein intake, digestion and absorption disorders | 30% |
| chronic inflammation | Tuberculosis, rheumatic diseases | 15% |
| Others | Nephrotic syndrome, multiple myeloma | 10% |
3. The harm of low white ball ratio
1.Decreased immune function: Elevated globulin may indicate chronic infection or autoimmune disease
2.Increased risk of edema: Lowering of albumin will lead to lowering of plasma colloid osmotic pressure
3.Delayed wound healing: Protein deficiency affects tissue repair ability
4.Disease prognosis is poor: The lower the white corpuscle ratio in patients with cirrhosis, the more severe the condition is usually
4. Countermeasures (recent hot suggestions)
| measures | Specific methods | effectiveness |
|---|---|---|
| diet modification | Increase high-quality protein (eggs, fish, soy products) | ★★★☆ |
| Cause treatment | Treatment for primary diseases such as liver disease and kidney disease | ★★★★ |
| Nutritional supplements | Intravenous albumin supplementation when necessary | ★★★ |
| Regular monitoring | Review liver function every 3-6 months | ★★★★ |
5. Recent hot questions and answers
1.Question: Does white ball ratio 1.3 require treatment?
Answer: It needs to be judged in combination with other indicators. If it is simply slightly low, you can start with dietary adjustments.
2.Question: Can eating protein powder improve the white-to-ball ratio?
Answer: It is effective for malnutrition, but its effect on liver disease is limited.
3.Question: Will low white ball ratio cause cancer?
Answer: It will not directly become cancerous, but it may be an accompanying manifestation of certain cancers.
6. Latest suggestions from experts (updated in 2023)
1. It is recommended that those with persistently low white-to-white ratio should complete hepatitis virus screening and abdominal B-ultrasound examination
2. It is recommended to adopt a "high-quality protein + vitamin" joint supplement plan
3. Reminder to avoid blind use of drugs that increase albumin
4. Emphasize the need for patients with chronic diseases to control the progression of underlying diseases
Summary:A low white-to-white ratio requires attention, but there is no need to panic. Other examinations should be combined to determine the cause. Recent health science popularization emphasizes that 70% of mild abnormalities can be improved through nutritional management and lifestyle adjustments. It is recommended to have regular physical examinations and dynamically observe changes in indicators.
