About this test

What is
Albumin
?

Option 1:The liver produces a protein called albumin which plays a key role in transporting essential vitamins, enzymes and other substances through the bloodstream. Additionally, this protein helps to prevent the leakage of fluids from blood vessels. To detect several health problems such as liver and kidney issues, an albumin blood test is conducted to measure the quantity of albumin present in a blood sample. This test can be done individually or as part of a comprehensive metabolic or liver panel.Option 2:The liver produces a protein called albumin which is responsible for transporting essential substances such as vitamins and enzymes in the bloodstream. Additionally, it helps in preventing fluid leakage from blood vessels. Conducting an albumin blood test can help diagnose several health issues including liver and kidney problems. This test can be done alone or as a part of a series of tests such as the comprehensive metabolic panel or liver panel.

Why
Albumin
is needed?

Option 1:The test aims to assess whether one's blood has abnormal levels of albumin. Deviations in albumin levels could indicate an underlying health issue. Diagnosis involves testing after the emergence of symptoms, such as checking for albumin levels in the blood for signs of liver disease. Screening is a preventative measure that detects potential health issues before the onset of symptoms. It may involve a comprehensive metabolic panel that includes albumin measurements. Monitoring entails testing to track the progression of a condition or response to treatment. Periodic albumin blood tests can provide information on the severity of the illness and how it changes over time.Option 2:The test aims to assess if there are any abnormal levels of albumin present in your blood, as such levels can indicate an underlying health issue. The detection of albumin alone or in conjunction with other measurements can assist in the diagnosis, screening, and monitoring of various conditions. Diagnosis testing is performed after symptoms have appeared, and a doctor may suggest an albumin blood test if there are indications of potential liver disease. Screening involves identifying health conditions before symptoms arise, and albumin is typically measured alongside other parameters in a comprehensive metabolic panel. Monitoring tests assess the progression of a condition or its response to treatment, and follow-up tests for albumin in the blood can provide insights into the severity of the disease and its changes over time.
