Albumin is the most abundant protein in blood plasma. It helps prevent fluid leakage from blood vessels, nourishes tissues and carries hormones, vitamins, drugs and ions like calcium. Albumin is produced in the liver and its concentration in the blood is sensitive to liver damage. It can drop in conditions such as liver disease, kidney disease (nephrotic syndrome), inflammation or shock. Dehydration can increase albumin concentration.
A blood sample is taken by a needle from a vein.
