Once you receive the results of your blood test for albumin, you will need to consult with your provider. Only a medical professional can advise you on the results of your albumin levels and help you develop a treatment plan if necessary.
Your albumin levels may fluctuate over time, depending on how healthy your liver and kidneys are. A blood test for albumin can help you monitor the health of your organs and confirm whether or not you are following an effective treatment plan.
There are no special requirements for an Albumin Blood Test. Your provider will draw a blood sample from a vein in your arm. Albumin Blood Test results typically only take 1-2 business days to process.
