Serum Albumin Analysis

The serum albumin test measures the concentration of albumin, a major protein in the blood. Albumin is the most abundant protein in the blood plasma, produced by the liver, and plays a crucial role in maintaining the osmotic pressure necessary for proper distribution of body fluids between blood vessels and body tissues. It also serves as a carrier protein for substances like hormones, vitamins, and drugs, and helps maintain blood pH.

Management of abnormal albumin levels focuses on addressing the underlying cause; treatments for low levels may include dietary protein supplementation and medical intervention for associated liver or kidney conditions, while increased fluid intake is recommended for dehydration-induced high levels. Serum Albumin Analysis is a vital diagnostic tool for evaluating liver function, nutritional status, and overall health, aiding in the management of conditions especially affecting the liver and kidneys. Regular monitoring of serum albumin is essential for patients with chronic liver or kidney disease, ensuring tailored and effective treatment to meet their specific health requirements.
