Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG) Test in Pune

At a glance: The SAAG test helps determine whether ascites is caused by liver-related portal hypertension.

The Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG) test is a calculated diagnostic assessment used to evaluate the cause of ascites, which is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity. SAAG is derived by subtracting ascitic fluid albumin from serum albumin levels. A higher gradient usually indicates portal hypertension, commonly associated with chronic liver disease.

At healthcare nt sickcare, the SAAG test can be arranged through a Home Collection Facility for blood sampling where applicable, along with a Direct Walk-in Facility for coordinated testing in Pune. This test supports clinical evaluation and treatment planning under medical supervision across Maharashtra.
