What is Albumin?
Albumin is a protein found in large quantities in the blood and is essential for maintaining osmotic pressure in the vascular system, which aids in the transport of substances such as hormones, vitamins, and medications throughout the body. It also plays a role in nutritional status and the health of the liver and kidneys.
Why should you get Albumin tested?
Testing albumin is recommended for individuals who have symptoms of liver or kidney disorders, people with a chronic illness that may affect nutritional status, or when evaluating overall health condition. It is also useful for monitoring the treatment of certain conditions.
What does it indicate?
Albumin levels can provide insight into liver function, kidney health, and a person's nutritional status. Abnormal levels may indicate a range of health issues, including liver disease, kidney disease, and malabsorption or malnutrition.
What does a high Albumin level mean?
A high albumin level occurs less frequently and is generally not a cause for concern. In rare cases, it can indicate dehydration or a high-protein diet.
What does a low Albumin level mean?
A low albumin level may indicate liver disease, kidney disease, inflammation, malnutrition, or a nutrient absorption problem. It can also be associated with chronic conditions affecting protein synthesis or breakdown.
