Albumin Blood Test in Slough
Albumin is a vital protein produced by the liver, accounting for approximately 55% to 65% of the total protein found in blood plasma. It plays a key role in maintaining fluid balance and transporting essential substances throughout the body.

Functions of Albumin in the Body
Albumin serves several important physiological functions, including:

Maintaining oncotic (colloid osmotic) pressure, which helps regulate fluid distribution between blood vessels and tissues

Transporting and storing hormones, fatty acids, and various drugs or compounds

Supporting overall liver and kidney function

When is an Albumin Test Recommended?
An albumin blood test is commonly ordered as part of routine health screenings and is typically included in:

Liver function tests (LFT)

Comprehensive metabolic panels

Renal function panels

Low albumin levels may indicate liver disease, kidney disorders, malnutrition, or inflammation, while elevated levels may suggest dehydration.
