Albumin is a protein found in the blood that is produced by the liver and plays several important roles in the body. It helps manage blood volume by maintaining the balance of fluids between the blood vessels and tissues. Albumin also acts as a carrier protein, transporting various substances such as hormones, fatty acids, and medications throughout the body. Additionally, it helps in maintaining proper pH levels in the blood and to lessen changes in acidity. Low levels of albumin can suggest liver or kidney diseases, malnutrition, or other health conditions, while high levels may be seen in dehydration or certain inflammatory diseases.
