Albumin is a protein produced by the liver. It is most abundant in human plasma. Normally it constitutes about 55% of all plasma proteins. Albumin performs multiple functions, including transport of many small molecules in the blood, such as bilirubin, calcium, and magnesium.ossible causes of a decrease in the level of albumin in the blood include liver or kidney disease or increased loss of albumin from circulation (eg, due to shock).
An albumin test may be ordered as part of a liver panel to evaluate liver function, along with a creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to evaluate kidney function, or to evaluate a person's nutritional status. ^ Back to top.ow albumin levels can reflect diseases in which the kidneys cannot prevent albumin from leaking from the blood into the urine and being lost. In this case, the amount of albumin or protein in the urine also may be measured (see Urine Albumin).
