Albumin carries substances such as hormones, drugs, and enzymes throughout your body. This test can help diagnose, evaluate, and watch kidney and liver conditions. When your kidneys begin to fail, albumin starts to leak into your urine.
Specifically, the test checks for albumin levels and total protein levels. 1  Albumin: Albumin is a small protein made in the liver that constitutes the major protein in blood serum. 2  Total Protein: In addition to albumin, your blood serum also contains a protein called globulin.
