Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How is the blood sample taken?
To take the blood sample, a tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is asked to make a fist. This helps in the buildup of blood filling the veins and it becomes easy to collect the blood. The skin is cleaned before inserting the needle in the vein in order to prevent bacteria from entering. The needle is then inserted into the vein in the arm and the blood sample is collected in the vacutainer.
What is the function of albumin in the body?
The function of albumin in the body is to keep the fluid from leaking out of blood vessels, transports hormones, and nourishes tissues. It also helps in the transportation of vitamins, medicines, and calcium throughout the body.
Why high levels of albumin are noted in kidney disease?
Albumin is normally present in high concentrations in the blood. Normally, kidneys conserve albumin and do not release in it the urine. However, in case of damage to the kidneys, they are not able to conserve albumin, and thus it is lost in the urine.
What other tests can be advised along with the albumin test?
The other tests which can be advised along with albumin test include creatinine test, blood urea nitrogen test, or renal panel.
What are the signs and symptoms of a liver disorder?
The signs and symptoms of a liver disorder include yellowing of eyes or skin, weakness, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, abdominal swelling or pain, dark urine, light-colored stool, and itching.
Should I inform my doctor if I am taking any medicines?
Yes, please inform your doctor if you are taking any medicines or supplements as it might interfere with the test results.
