☝️Albumin is a protein made by the liver that helps maintain fluid balance and oncotic pressure in the bloodstream.
✨Albumin also plays a crucial role in transporting hormones, vitamins, and enzymes throughout the body.
❓Low albumin levels may indicate liver or kidney disease, while high levels can be a sign of dehydration.
🔬To interpret the albumin test results, it's important to compare them to the normal lab reference range of 3.5 to 5.5 grams per deciliter.
🩺Additional tests, such as liver function tests or urine albumin creatinine ratio, may be ordered to determine the underlying cause of abnormal albumin levels.
