Understanding Serum Albumin
Proteins are the fundamental molecules for body functioning, growth, and development. They are responsible for forming the structural part of most of the body's organs and help make enzymes and hormones. Albumin is one of the primary proteins produced by the liver and is required for the body's growth, development, and tissue repair.
You may need the Serum Albumin test if you experience symptoms such as fatigue, abnormal or dark-colored urination, sudden weight loss, unexplained swelling in your legs and feet, or the yellowing of the skin and eyes. Your doctor may also advise this test if you are at a higher risk of developing liver or kidney disease to help detect any associated problem at an earlier stage. Generally, no fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine.
Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results. Narrate your complete medical history to help the doctor correlate your clinical and laboratory findings. The test results will help them determine your medical condition, make recommendations for lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise, decide whether or not medication will be required to manage your overall health, and formulate an overall treatment plan.
What does Serum Albumin measure?
The Serum Albumin test measures the level of albumin protein in your blood. Albumin is one of the major proteins found in your body; about 60% of the total protein is made up of albumin, which is produced by the liver. It helps carry small molecules, such as hormones, vitamins, minerals, and medicines, throughout the body. It also serves as a source of amino acids for tissue metabolism. Albumin helps stop the fluid from leaking out of the blood vessels. When the albumin level is insufficient, the fluid can leak out of your blood vessels and build up in your lungs, belly, or other body parts.
