Albumin is a protein that is produced in the liver and has many important functions, including the transport of substances in the blood and the maintenance of the colloid osmotic pressure. The laboratory value measures the albumin concentration in the blood and provides information about liver function, nutritional status, and kidney function.
An albumin test is recommended for: • Patients with symptoms such as edema, fatigue or weight loss • People with suspected liver or kidney disease • Monitoring of patients with chronic conditions such as cirrhosis or nephrotic syndrome • Assessment of nutritional status in malnutrition or severe illness
The test serves to assess liver and kidney function as well as nutritional status. Albumin is also used to monitor chronic diseases.
A low albumin level can be caused by: • Liver diseases such as cirrhosis or hepatitis • Protein loss through the kidneys (e.g. nephrotic syndrome) • Malnutrition or malabsorption An elevated value is rare and usually occurs with dehydration. Symptoms of low albumin levels can include: • Swelling (edema) • Weakness or fatigue
The testing can be carried out at any time of the day and is independent of food intake.
• Albumin levels can be lowered by chronic inflammation or infections, even without obvious liver or kidney disease. • In conjunction with total protein and globulin, the albumin value helps to assess the overall health status more comprehensively. • The value can also decrease during pregnancy or fluid overload.
