Understanding Albumin
Albumin, a blood maker seen on the Complete Metabolic Panel, is one of the major blood proteins. It is produced mainly in the liver and plays a major role in water distribution, serving as a transport protein for hormones as well as various drugs. Albumin levels can be affected by digestive issues such as malnutrition and hypochlorhydria. Liver dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation, kidney disease, and even normal pregnancy can be factors in low albumin. Elevated albumin may be associated with dehydration.
