What is the purpose of albumin?
An albumin blood test is used to check your general health and to see how well your liver and kidneys are working.

A normal amount of albumin in your urine is less than 30 mg/g. Anything above 30 mg/g may mean you have kidney disease, even if your estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) number is above 60.

Low albumin levels can be a sign of liver or kidney disease or another medical condition. High levels may be a sign of dehydration.
A doctor can perform a set of blood tests known as a total protein, albumin, and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio.
Urine albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR), also known as urine microalbumin, helps identify kidney disease that can occur as a complication of diabetes.
When albumin levels are high the body is usually severely dehydrated.
