FAQ

How do you calculate SAAG?

SAAG calculator uses the following formula:

SAAG = Serum Albumin - Ascitic Fluid Albumin

What is the normal range of SAAG?

SAAG > 1.1 g/dL (>11 g/L) is a reliable (97% accuracy) diagnostic of portal hypertension (or a non-peritoneal condition) as the cause of ascites.
However, the value of ascites albumin gradient alone does not provide any clues to the cause of this hypertension (e.g., liver cirrhosis).
This range corresponds to the ascitic fluid being a transudate.

What causes a low SAAG?

SAAG < 1.1 g/dL (<11 g/L) indicates ascites of non-portal nature or a peritoneal origin (for example, peritonitis).
This range corresponds to the exudate nature of the ascitic fluid.
