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).
A low albumin can suggest liver disease. Other liver enzyme tests are ordered to determine exactly which type of liver disease. A person may, however, have normal or near normal albumin levels with liver disease until the condition has reached an advanced stage.erum/plasma (or blood) albumin is now more often used to screen for and help diagnose liver or kidney disease and is tested on a blood sample. The urine albumin test (in the past, called a microalbumin test) detects and measures albumin in the urine as an early indicator of kidney damage.
