Albumin is a protein produced by the liver. Albumin helps keep the fluid inside the bloodstream so that it doesn’t leak out. It is also responsible for carrying various substances around the body, such as hormones, vitamins, and enzymes. Low levels of albumin inside the body could be an indication of problems with the kidney and liver. Treatment should be started immediately after the test.

What does the Albumin Serum test measure?
An albumin blood test is essentially a test for the liver’s functioning. Liver function tests measure different proteins and enzymes inside the liver (which includes albumin). An albumin serum test could also be ordered as a part of a comprehensive metabolic panel used to measure various substances inside the blood.
Albumin is a simple protein that is made by the liver. Inside the body, it serves several functions that include:
- Keeping the fluid in the bloodstream and preventing it from entering other tissues of the body
- Maintaining proper osmotic pressure inside the blood
Helping in binding and transporting various substances through the blood, including various hormones, drugs, vitamins, enzymes etc. - Neutralising free radicals found inside the bloodstream
Albumin is extremely essential in testing the functioning of the kidney and the liver. These are extremely essential organs that are required by the body. Any malfunctioning in their operation could be fatal for the person.
Risk/Side-effects of Albumin Serum test
Generally, there is very little risk of any major symptoms inside the body. The person might feel slight pain (or some bruising) in the area where the needle has been pierced to take the blood. But those tend to disappear pretty quickly and not cause any major problems to the patient. In very rare cases, the patient might develop blood collection under the skin or infection at the site where the needle was pierced. But that is a very rare occurrence and nothing major to worry about.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting the Albumin Serum Test Results
If the albumin levels found inside the blood are higher than normal, that could be an indication of the following problems in the body:
- Liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis
- Kidney diseases (kidney is damaged and cannot filter blood)
- Malnutrition (not receiving enough nutrition for the body to function)
- Infections of some kind
- Inflammatory bowel disease in individuals (problems with stool)
- Thyroid disease (inflammation or goitre)
Higher levels of albumin in the body could be an indication of dehydration or even a severe case of diarrhoea.
If the albumin inside the body is not in the normal range, that necessarily doesn’t point towards any defects in the body. Some certain drugs or hormones could raise the albumin levels. Certain drugs (like birth control pills) could be lowering the level of albumin. After the test result is found to be positive, a doctor should be contacted immediately. The situation might not be dangerous, but early precaution and treatment could be helpful.
