What a high Albumin, Serum means, and common causes

A high albumin almost always means the blood is concentrated rather than that the body is making too much protein.

Common causes: Dehydration, and occasionally a tourniquet left on too long while drawing the sample.

What a low Albumin, Serum means, and common causes

Low albumin means the liver is making less of this protein, or the body is losing it. It is one of the better markers of long-standing illness and nutrition.

Common causes: Chronic liver disease, kidney disease with protein loss in urine, malnutrition, malabsorption such as coeliac disease, long-standing inflammation or infection, heart failure, and severe burns.

Frequently asked questions

Roughly 3.5 to 5.2 g/dL in adults.

Not always. Kidney loss, poor nutrition and chronic inflammation lower it too. The rest of the liver and kidney panel usually points to which.

Albumin holds fluid inside blood vessels. When it falls, fluid leaks into the tissues, which shows up first as swelling around the ankles.
