Understanding Serum Albumin in Gandhinagar
What is Serum Albumin in Gandhinagar?
A Serum Albumin test measures 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 body parts.
