Albumin (ALB) is a protein produced by the liver and is the most abundant protein in the blood.
It transports components throughout the body, nourishes tissues & prevents blood vessel leakage.
Albumin is highly sensitive to liver damage so lower levels can indicate when the liver is damaged.
Many other factors also affect albumin levels, such as malnutrition, acute illnesses and inflammation.
By buying a laboratory test kit with professional nurse or clinic collection, you can accurately measure Albumin for total reassurance.
Professional analysis in an accredited laboratory ensures rapid result delivery.
The Vitall Liver Function nurse or clinic test kit includes a Albumin test and is available for just £59.00.
Tests which include a Albumin test:
High albumin concentrations in the blood are most commonly linked to dehydration and are unlikely to reflect an underlying disease process.
Some medicines can also be associated with higher albumin levels, particularly hormones and steroids.
Albumin is the most prevalent protein in blood. Abnormal levels can indicate liver disease, reflect kidney disease, or be seen with severe inflammation or shock. Reduced albumin can also occur with conditions that affect absorption and digestion of protein or other nutrients (malnutrition).
Abnormal albumin levels are common in people with kidney disorders or chronic liver disease. Albumin levels can also be reduced in inflammatory conditions of many kinds, and with prolonged diarrhoea.
This result is often reviewed further to clarify the cause. A urine albumin test is sometimes used to help rule out kidney issues.
