An Albumin Blood Test measures the level of albumin in the blood. Albumin is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma, produced by the liver. It plays a vital role in maintaining oncotic pressure (which keeps fluid within blood vessels), transporting hormones, vitamins, fatty acids, and drugs throughout the body.
This test is commonly used to evaluate liver and kidney function, assess nutritional status, and help diagnose conditions such as liver disease, kidney disorders, malnutrition, and inflammatory conditions.
