Albumin Blood Test

$38.00 AUD

Experiencing unexplained fatigue, swelling, or nutritional concerns and wondering if your body is maintaining adequate protein levels for optimal health and healing?

The Albumin Blood Test measures albumin, the main protein made by the liver that helps maintain fluid balance and carry hormones, vitamins, and medicines through the blood. Low albumin may be linked to liver or kidney disease, poor nutrition, or inflammation, while healthy levels support strong circulation and overall body function.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

The albumin blood test measures the amount of albumin, your body's most abundant protein, which acts like a master multitasker in your bloodstream and is crucial for ensuring you have enough albumin. Think of albumin as your body's delivery service and fluid manager rolled into one – it carries important substances like hormones and nutrients throughout your body while keeping the right level of fluid in your blood vessels instead of leaking out into surrounding tissues.

This simple blood test reveals a lot about your overall health because your liver produces serum albumin, so the level of albumin reflects how well your liver is functioning, your nutritional status, and whether your kidneys are properly managing proteins. When albumin levels are low, it may signal issues like poor nutrition, liver disease, kidney disease, or chronic illness, often showing up as unexplained swelling or fluid retention. Healthcare providers may order an albumin test as part of routine blood tests to assess your protein status, investigate swelling, monitor liver function tests, or guide nutritional support when needed. Abnormal albumin levels in your blood can indicate various health issues, making it essential to understand your test results and what they mean for your overall health.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with nutritional concerns, liver or kidney disease, chronic illness, or anyone needing comprehensive protein status and nutritional assessment.

Questions

  • Albumin is the most abundant blood protein, essential for maintaining fluid balance, transporting substances, and serving as an indicator of nutritional and liver health, particularly when evaluating low albumin levels.
  • Low albumin may indicate malnutrition, liver disease, kidney problems, chronic inflammation, or protein loss, requiring evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
  • Causes include poor nutrition, liver disease, kidney disease, chronic inflammation, protein loss through intestines or skin, and certain medications, all of which can lead to low albumin levels.
  • Albumin is a protein that helps maintain proper fluid distribution between blood vessels and tissues; low levels can cause fluid to leak into tissues, causing swelling.
  • Yes, through improved nutrition, treatment of underlying diseases, protein supplementation when appropriate, and addressing factors causing protein loss.
  • High albumin levels are less common but may indicate dehydration or, rarely, certain medical conditions. They usually normalise with proper hydration.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)
