Brief Answer:
It is not due to Interstitial Cystitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have Interstitial Cystitis and your routine Urine analysis has revealed high Albumin /Globulin ration.

One thing rest be assured that it is not due to IC .As such high Ag ratio has no clinical significance at all.

Recheck your blood after 6 weeks and if AG ratio to be high you may need to do Thyroid Hormone assessment to rule out Hypothyroidism.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions
I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
