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).
For this reason, albumin may sometimes be given as an intravenous medicine to raise blood pressure in hospitalized people. Albumin is often checked routinely by doctors in a liver function test panel. Severe liver disease can cause low albumin levels, as the liver loses its ability to make enough albumin.
