The Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG) test is used to assess abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity. This simple and effective test compares the albumin levels in the patient's blood and ascitic fluid. The calculation involves subtracting the ascitic fluid albumin from the serum albumin. A high SAAG (≥1.1 g/dL) typically indicates portal hypertension, commonly associated with cirrhosis. On the other hand, a low SAAG suggests non-portal hypertensive causes, such as cancer or heart failure.
