How does the blood test take place?
Sampling for this test is done via a venous blood sample. The sample is usually taken from a vein in the crook of the elbow and is performed by trained healthcare professionals. How much blood you are allowed to give depends on the number of health markers to be analyzed. The sampling usually takes a few minutes.

Albumin is an important protein found in the blood. The protein can leak out of the blood into the urine in case of impaired kidney function and kidney disease, which then leads to a drop in the albumin value. The albumin concentration is checked above all to rule out reduced kidney function or kidney disease and also in case of suspicion of damage or disease in the liver. The albumin concentration is an important part of the body's fluid balance status and gives an idea of the hydration and colloid osmotic pressure.

The role of albumin in hormone transport

Albumin also functions as a transport protein for many hormones, including sex hormones such as testosterone and estradiol, as well as thyroid hormones. This means that changes in albumin levels can affect the hormonal balance in the body. It is therefore important to consider albumin levels when interpreting hormone tests, as a decreased albumin concentration can lead to an increased proportion of free, biologically active hormone in the blood.

Albumin and the body's fluid balance

Albumin plays a key role in the body's fluid balance by retaining fluid in the blood vessels. When albumin levels are low, fluid can leak into the tissues and cause swelling (edema), which can be seen in conditions such as liver disease or protein deficiency. The test may therefore be relevant for evaluating fluid balance and nutritional status.

Who should test their albumin value?

  • People with suspected kidney or liver disease.
  • Diabetics who want to monitor their kidney function.
  • People with symptoms of fluid retention or edema.
  • Individuals who want to evaluate their nutritional status and protein balance.
  • Those who are undergoing hormonal tests and want to get a more complete picture of their hormone balance.

A blood test for P-Albumin provides important information about kidney and liver health, the body's fluid balance and hormone transport. The test is relevant for those who want to gain insight into your kidneys and whether you may be affected by impaired kidney function.

The liver is a vital organ that plays a central role in metabolism, detoxification and energy storage. It produces enzymes and proteins that are important for digestion, blood clotting and immune function. Liver markers are analyzed in the blood to assess the health and function of the liver. They can provide important information about liver damage, inflammation and disease states.

ALB
Albumin
Albumin is a protein from the liver that keeps fluid in the bloodstream. In kidney disease, albumin can leak into the urine, resulting in lower albumin levels in the blood and swelling of the body. Low albumin can also indicate poor nutritional status.
