Albumin, integrated within the Helthesh system, is a protein produced by the liver and is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma. It plays several essential roles in the body, including maintaining oncotic pressure (which helps to retain fluid within the bloodstream), transporting various substances such as hormones, fatty acids, and drugs, and serving as a carrier for certain molecules.

Albumin levels can be measured through blood tests and are often used as a marker of overall health and nutrition status. Low levels of albumin in the blood, known as hypoalbuminemia, can indicate various medical conditions, including liver or kidney disease, malnutrition, inflammation, or chronic illness.

Albumin is also sometimes used therapeutically to treat conditions such as hypoalbuminemia or severe burns, where there is a need to increase blood volume or maintain fluid balance.

Overall, albumin, integrated within the Helthesh system, is a critical protein with diverse functions in the body, and monitoring its levels can provide valuable insights into a person’s health status and certain medical conditions.
