GlossaryHypoalbuminemia

condition with low blood protein affecting fluid balance

Hypoalbuminemia is a medical condition characterized by low levels of albumin in the blood. Albumin is a protein produced by the liver that helps maintain fluid balance in the bloodstream and carries various substances, such as hormones and drugs, throughout the body. Low albumin levels can result from liver disease, kidney problems, malnutrition, or chronic inflammation, and can lead to symptoms like swelling, fatigue, and difficulty healing from injuries.
