Albumin (Albuminuria) Fluorometric Assay Kit
Cat.No. : | Kit-2273 |
Product Overview : | Albuminuria is a pathological condition characterized by the presence of high concentrations of albumin in urine. Albumin concentration ranges between 30-300 mg/L in the patient’s urine sample, which is not detected by commercially available protein tests. Albuminuria has become a useful marker for the early detection of chronic kidney diseases in patients suffering from diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. Albumin (Albuminuria) Assay Kit provides a simple, sensitive, and high-throughput adaptable assay that detects albumin concentrations in healthy and Albuminuric urine samples. This assay is based on the fluorometric detection of albumin using a probe (AB580) that specifically recognizes albumin (Ex/Em: 600/630 nm). AB580 does not cause fluorescence in presence of other proteins or metabolites such as IgG, urea, ascorbic acid and glucose. Our assay can detect albumin concentrations as low as 20 mg/L. |

Q&As (25)
Ask a questionYes, albumin has antioxidant properties. It can scavenge free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. This antioxidant capacity contributes to the overall protective functions of albumin in the body.
Yes, there are rare genetic disorders that can affect albumin production or function. Examples include analbuminemia, a condition characterized by the absence or very low levels of albumin in the blood, and familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia, which involves altered binding of thyroid hormones to albumin.
No, high albumin levels are not a sign of dehydration. In fact, dehydration typically leads to a concentration of proteins in the blood, including albumin, which can cause slightly elevated levels. Low albumin levels are more commonly associated with fluid depletion and dehydration.
Albumin is primarily produced by the liver. Hepatocytes (liver cells) synthesize and secrete albumin into the bloodstream.
Yes, genetic variations can exist in the human albumin gene, leading to different forms or isoforms of albumin. However, clinically significant variations are rare and typically not associated with any major health implications.
Yes, albumin can be used in the treatment of burns. Burn patients often experience a loss of albumin due to fluid shifts and increased permeability of blood vessels. Albumin infusions may be given to help stabilize fluid balance and maintain adequate blood volume.
Albumin protein levels can be measured through a blood test called serum albumin test. A blood sample is taken from a vein, and the amount of albumin present in the serum is assessed. This test is commonly performed as part of a routine blood panel or to monitor liver or kidney function.
Yes, dietary factors can influence albumin levels to some extent. Malnutrition or a diet low in protein can lead to decreased albumin production, resulting in low levels. On the other hand, a diet high in protein can increase albumin synthesis and raise albumin levels.
Yes, nutritional deficiencies, particularly a lack of protein in the diet, can lower albumin levels. Since albumin is synthesized in the liver, a lack of essential amino acids from protein can lead to reduced albumin production and subsequent decrease in blood levels.
Albumin has multiple functions, including maintaining osmotic pressure, transporting hormones, fatty acids, and drugs, regulating pH balance, and serving as a source of amino acids for tissues.
Yes, albumin plays a crucial role in the transportation of hormones, fatty acids, and some medications in the body. It acts as a carrier protein, binding to these substances and aiding their distribution throughout the bloodstream to target tissues or organs.
Albumin transfusions are generally considered safe, but like any medical procedure, they do carry a small risk of adverse effects. Some potential risks include allergic reactions, fluid overload, and transmission of infectious agents. These risks can be minimized by properly screening both the donor plasma and the recipient.
Yes, low albumin levels can be an indication of liver disease. The liver plays a crucial role in producing albumin, so liver damage or dysfunction can lower albumin production, leading to decreased levels in the blood.
Yes, dehydration can affect albumin levels. When the body is dehydrated, there is a decrease in blood volume, leading to a concentration of proteins, including albumin. This can result in slightly elevated albumin levels. However, dehydration alone is typically not a significant cause of low albumin levels.
Gender does not have a significant impact on albumin levels. However, normal albumin levels may vary slightly based on age. In general, albumin levels tend to be slightly lower in the elderly due to age-related changes in protein metabolism and decreased liver function.
Yes, abnormalities in albumin levels can indicate certain health conditions. Low albumin levels may be associated with liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, inflammatory conditions, or gastrointestinal issues. High albumin levels may be a result of dehydration or excessive protein intake.
Yes, albumin can be used as a treatment for edema. In certain cases, intravenous administration of albumin may be used to help restore fluid balance and reduce swelling in individuals with severe edema, such as those with liver or kidney disease. This is often done under medical supervision.
Yes, albumin protein can be used in medical settings. It can be administered intravenously to restore or maintain blood volume in situations like severe bleeding or shock. Additionally, albumin has been used in drug formulation and delivery systems.
Yes, albumin protein has non-medical uses as well. It is widely used in laboratory research as a reagent for experiments and as a component of various diagnostic and analytical kits. Additionally, albumin is used in the food industry for applications such as clarifying wine and beer.
The half-life of albumin in the circulation is approximately 18 to 21 days. This means that it takes around three weeks for half of the administered albumin to be cleared from the body. However, the clinical effects of albumin transfusion may not persist for the entire duration of its half-life.
Yes, there are alternatives to albumin for medical use. Synthetic colloids, such as hydroxyethyl starch (HES) and pentastarch, can be used as volume expanders in situations where albumin is not available or not suitable. However, the use of synthetic colloids may carry different risks and should be carefully considered.
The normal range for albumin levels in the blood is typically between 3.5 to 5.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL). However, the reference range may vary slightly depending on the laboratory and the specific method used for measurement.
Yes, low albumin levels can be an indication of kidney disease. The kidneys play a role in regulating albumin levels in the blood by preventing its loss through urine. Damaged kidneys may allow albumin to leak into the urine, resulting in low levels in the bloodstream.
Albumin used for medical purposes is primarily obtained from human plasma or through recombinant DNA technology. Human albumin is collected from plasma donations and undergoes a purification process to ensure its safety and efficacy. Recombinant albumin, produced by genetically modified organisms, is also available as an alternative source.
Yes, albumin can be used as a treatment for burns. When applied topically as an ointment or incorporated into dressings, albumin can help promote wound healing and reduce inflammation and infection in burn injuries.
