Albumin

• Individuals showing signs of liver disease, such as jaundice, fatigue, or abdominal swelling.
• Patients with kidney disease, as albumin levels can indicate kidney function and protein loss.
• Those suspected of having nutritional deficiencies or malabsorption issues.
• People with chronic conditions that might affect protein levels, such as infections or autoimmune diseases.

• Swelling or edema, particularly in the ankles, feet, or abdomen
• Fatigue and weakness
• Muscle wasting
• Pale or brittle nails
• Hair thinning or loss

Low albumin levels can be caused by:

• Liver diseases like cirrhosis or hepatitis, which impair albumin production.
• Kidney disease, leading to loss of albumin in the urine.
• Malnutrition or inadequate protein intake.
• Chronic infections or inflammatory conditions.
• Gastrointestinal disorders that impair nutrient absorption.

• Ensure adequate dietary protein intake, considering both quantity and quality of protein sources.
• Manage underlying liver or kidney conditions with appropriate medical care.
• Address any gastrointestinal issues that might impair nutrient absorption.
• Regularly monitor and treat any chronic infections or inflammatory conditions.
• Stay hydrated and maintain overall health through a balanced diet and regular exercise.
