What is the normal value of blood albumin?

In order to protect your health from the threat and harm of diseases, you need to take appropriate protective measures in your daily life and have regular physical examinations. Once the test shows that the blood albumin value is high or low, you need to find a way to solve the problem as soon as possible. You cannot let your body be threatened and harmed again and again. So what is the normal value of blood albumin?

Serum albumin, often abbreviated as ALB. Serum albumin is synthesized in the liver and is the most abundant protein in vertebrate plasma. It is generally believed that the normal value of serum albumin is 40-55g/L, the normal value of serum globulin is 20-30g/L, the normal value of serum total protein is 60-80g/L, and the normal value of the albumin-globulin ratio is 1.5-2.5.

Human serum albumin is a protein in human plasma. Its non-glycosylated single-chain polypeptide contains 585 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 66 kD. Its concentration in plasma is 42g/L, accounting for about 60% of the total plasma protein. In body fluids, human serum albumin can transport fatty acids, bile pigments, amino acids, steroid hormones, metal ions and many therapeutic molecules, while maintaining normal osmotic pressure in the blood. In clinical practice, human serum albumin can be used to treat shock and burns, to replenish blood loss caused by surgery, accidents or massive bleeding, and can also be used as a plasma expander.

Albumin is synthesized by liver parenchymal cells. In the human body, it has the functions of maintaining the balance of plasma colloidal osmotic pressure, being responsible for the transport of plasma albumin and other physiological functions of plasma albumin. In liver function tests, the role of albumin in liver function tests is to judge certain diseases based on the test results of albumin.

High albumin levels are mainly seen in cases where blood concentration leads to a relative increase, such as severe dehydration and shock, severe burns, kidney disease, massive bleeding, etc. Rapid water loss during diarrhea, vomiting, and high fever can also lead to an increase in serum albumin concentration, causing high albumin levels. High albumin levels can also be affected by dietary protein intake.

I believe everyone has a good idea of ​​what the normal value of blood albumin is. In fact, there are many factors that lead to high or low blood albumin values, which are closely related to some diseases. Therefore, no matter what the cause is, we must realize the importance of timely and correct treatment and never give the disease a chance to worsen.
