Understanding Serum Albumin in Bangalore


What is Serum Albumin in Bangalore?

A Serum Albumin test is used to measure the amount of albumin protein in the body. This test helps determine your nutritional status or identify any nutritional deficiencies. It is recommended as part of routine health checkups or if a liver or kidney disease is suspected.

What does Serum Albumin measure?

A Serum Albumin test measures the level of albumin protein in your blood. Albumin is one of the major proteins found in your body; about 60% of the total protein is made up of albumin, which is produced by the liver. It helps carry small molecules, such as hormones, vitamins, minerals, and medicines, throughout the body. It also serves as a source of amino acids for tissue metabolism. Albumin helps stop the fluid from leaking out of the blood vessels. When the albumin level is insufficient, the fluid can leak out of your blood vessels and build up in your lungs, belly, or other parts of your body.

Answers to Patient Concerns & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Serum Albumin in Bangalore


Frequently Asked Questions about Serum Albumin in Bangalore

Q. What does a Serum Albumin test indicate?

A Serum Albumin test is used to identify liver and kidney diseases. This test is also used to check if your body is absorbing enough proteins.

Q. Is fasting required before a Serum Albumin test?

Yes, usually overnight fasting is preferred before an albumin test. You may be asked not to eat or drink anything except water before the test.

Q. Is there any risk associated with an albumin test?

There is usually no risk associated with this test. However, some people may feel a slight sting when a needle is pricked to collect the blood sample and may experience some bleeding that is normal and usually not bothersome. Rarely, some people may also experience slight swelling or bruising at the site of the needle prick. Applying ice 3-4 times a day for about a week may help reduce swelling and bruising. If it does not get better, consult your doctor.

Q. What are the natural sources to increase albumin?

You must consult your doctor if your test results show abnormal albumin levels. However, to increase your albumin level naturally, you should add protein-rich foods, such as eggs, milk, yogurt, almonds, cottage cheese, pulses, and peanuts, to your diet.

Q. What does a low albumin level indicate?

A low albumin level may indicate poor nutrition, an infection like cirrhosis, inflammatory liver disease, hepatitis, and hepatocellular necrosis.
