🧪 Understanding Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG): Principle, Causes, and Interpretation 🩺
The Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG) is a key diagnostic tool used to determine the cause of ascites by evaluating the difference between serum and ascitic fluid albumin levels. In my latest YouTube video, I explain the principle behind SAAG, its clinical significance, and how to interpret results effectively.
In this video, you'll learn:
What is SAAG?: An explanation of the Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient and its importance in diagnosing ascites.
Causes of Ascites: A breakdown of common causes, including liver cirrhosis, heart failure, and peritoneal disease, based on SAAG levels.
SAAG Interpretation: How to interpret SAAG values—high SAAG (≥1.1 g/dL) vs. low SAAG (<1.1 g/dL)—and what these results reveal about the underlying condition.
