ALPHA1 ACID GLYCOPROTEIN

Alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) is an acute-phase protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. The AAG test measures the level of this protein in the blood and is used to assess inflammatory conditions, monitor the body’s response to infection, and evaluate the efficacy of anti-inflammatory treatments. Elevated levels of AAG can indicate the presence of acute or chronic inflammation, infections, or certain cancers. This test is valuable for diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of inflammatory and infectious diseases, helping healthcare providers tailor treatment strategies for optimal patient outcomes.
