What is Albumin (Albumin)?
Albumin is measured as part of a liver function panel. Your albumin is normal — a good sign of nutritional status and liver function.
What does a high Albumin mean?
Elevated albumin is most commonly caused by dehydration.
What does a low Albumin mean?
Low albumin can indicate malnutrition, liver disease (cirrhosis), kidney disease (protein loss), or chronic inflammation. It's an important marker of overall health.
If markedly low: Critically low albumin indicates severe malnutrition or significant liver/kidney disease. Requires prompt evaluation.
