This gradient probably discriminates between transudate and exudate. Ascites Albumin Calculator
Formulas Used: SAAG (g/dL) = Serum Albumin - Ascites Albumin 1. A SAAG >= 1.1 suggests presence of portal hypertension in patients with a transudative ascites. 2. A SAAG < 1.1 suggests absence of significant portal hypertension in patients with exudate ascites. This free online Medical calculator helps in finding albumin gradient (SAAG) which helps to determine the cause of ascites. | |||||||||||
