Albumin FS

PROLINE Albumin FS

Product Description

Diagnostic reagent for quantitative in vitro determination of albumin in human serum or heparin plasma on automated photometric systems.

Albumin is the primary protein in the blood, playing a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, transporting essential substances such as hormones, enzymes, and medications, and supporting the immune system. Adequate albumin levels ensure optimal body function and help prevent various health disorders.

The Role of Albumin in the Human Body

Albumin is the main protein in blood plasma, accounting for approximately 60% of total plasma protein. Its key functions include:

Maintaining blood osmotic pressure: Albumin helps regulate fluid balance between blood vessels and body tissues, preventing edema or swelling.
Transporting essential substances: It serves as a carrier for various biochemical compounds, including free fatty acids, bilirubin, steroid hormones, calcium, and copper.
Amino acid source: Albumin acts as a source of amino acids for new tissue formation and accelerates the healing of damaged tissues.

Albumin and Liver Function

Albumin is produced by the liver in hepatocytes at a rate of 12–25 grams per day. It helps maintain plasma oncotic pressure and transports essential substances such as hormones and vitamins. Liver disorders, such as cirrhosis, can reduce albumin production, leading to hypoalbuminemia and related complications.

Measurement Method

Photometric test using bromocresol green.
