Albumin (Blood)

The Albumin Test measures the level of albumin, a primary protein produced by the liver that plays a critical role in maintaining fluid balance and transporting hormones, nutrients, and medications throughout the body. Abnormal albumin levels may be associated with liver or kidney dysfunction, malnutrition, chronic inflammation, or dehydration. This test is commonly used to evaluate unexplained swelling, fatigue, or abnormal laboratory findings and provides valuable insight into nutritional status, liver function, kidney health, and overall metabolic balance.
