Albumin is a protein produced by the liver that plays a key role in maintaining blood volume and pressure by keeping fluid from leaking out of blood vessels. It also transports hormones, vitamins, and drugs throughout the body. Low albumin levels in the blood can indicate liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, or inflammation. Measuring albumin is an important part of evaluating overall health, particularly liver and kidney function, and can guide the diagnosis and monitoring of various medical conditions.
