PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Albumin is the most abundant circulating protein found in plasma. It represents half of the total protein content (3.5 g/dL to 5 g/dL) of plasma in healthy human patients. Albumin is synthesized by liver hepatocytes and rapidly excreted into the bloodstream at the rate of about 10 gm to 15 gm per day.

Detailed explanation-2: -Higher than normal albumin levels in your blood (hyperalbuminemia) may indicate: Dehydration. Severe diarrhea.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you have a lower albumin level, you may have malnutrition. It can also mean that you have liver disease, kidney disease, or an inflammatory disease. Higher albumin levels may be caused by acute infections, burns, and stress from surgery or a heart attack.
