Albumin

The most abundant protein in your blood. The liver makes it, and it holds fluid inside the vessels and carries calcium, hormones and many drugs.

What it is

The most abundant protein in your blood. The liver makes it, and it holds fluid inside the vessels and carries calcium, hormones and many drugs.

Why it matters

It is a slow, honest summary of nutrition and liver synthesis, and it is what makes a calcium result readable.

Reading the number

It falls with inflammation, with liver or kidney disease and with poor nutrition, and it has a long half-life so it moves over weeks rather than days. A low albumin drags total calcium down without any real change in calcium.
