The Albumin test measures the level of albumin in the blood, a protein produced by the liver that plays a key role in maintaining fluid balance, transporting hormones and nutrients, and supporting overall metabolic function.
This test is commonly used to assess liver function, kidney health, and nutritional status. Abnormal albumin levels may be associated with liver disease, kidney disorders, inflammation, dehydration, or malnutrition. Albumin testing is often included as part of a comprehensive metabolic panel or liver function evaluation.
