What is an "albumin blood test"?
An albumin blood test measures the level of albumin, a protein made by the liver, in the blood. Albumin helps maintain blood volume and pressure by keeping fluid in the bloodstream and plays a role in transporting various substances, including hormones and medications. This test is used to evaluate liver function, kidney function, and overall nutritional status. Low levels of albumin can suggest liver disease, kidney issues, or malnutrition. High levels may be a sign of dehydration or other conditions affecting protein levels. Normal levels usually mean that these organs are functioning properly and that the body is properly nourished.
