Albumin is a type of protein made by the liver. A balanced form of albumin is required in the body to help keep fluid in the bloodstream only, so it doesn't leak into other tissues. Additionally, albumin is also required to carry various substances throughout the body, including hormones, vitamins, and enzymes. An albumin blood test measures the albumin levels in the blood. The test may be ordered individually, or it may be part of the Comprehensive metabolic panel. Surgery, burns, wounds are a few factors that raise the likelihood of having a low albumin level in the body. But if none of the conditions exists, an individual has a low albumin level, it may be a sign or symptom of liver or kidney disorder, or it may also reflect nutritional deficiency.
Please do not exercise prior to testing. It is best that your blood is taken in a rested state.
Note: Turn around times on results are an estimate and are not guaranteed. The lab may need additional time due to holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, etc. You can contact us to discuss when your results should be ready and we will contact the lab on your behalf immediately.
