Albumin/Globumin Ratio

With all these tests, I am getting so confused and reading conflicting notes between Nurse Practitioner and Hepalogist. I just received the blood work results for the day I had my fibroscan. My Albumin/Globulin Ratio was low at 1.0. I spoke to the nurse and she said I did not need to worry about it since my Albumin was at a normal range. When I look it up it points to Cirrosis which I do not have. The Nurse Practioner's notes have no to mild fibrosis. The doctor's notes state mild to moderate fibrosis. Also, no one addressed the Bradycardia. There were a couple of wrong notes in my file such as no swelling which is not the case. I just lost my health insurance so I am sure I am in trouble.

We can't speak to a diagnosis but if you have a hepatologist you should ignore the NP. Diagnosis is difficult
