Well, bloodwork is back...everything is normal, except albumin is high at 57...?
I'm not dehydrated or anything, and I feel okay...?!
Anyone experience this with liver disease?

Yeah the other posters are correct it should normally be low. When I was in hospital it was in the mid 20s its back to normal now. Did the docs seem concerned about it, if not I wouldn't worry too much. All the best
Hi, my first reply/post. I think Ralph is right - low levels bad, over 34 good (mine at present 39). Take care, Anne
Good Afternoon,
Can you confirm the level is 57 not 5.7 and what the unit is please? As you mentioned an increase in Albumin levels usually indicates chronic (long term) dehydrated but can mean your diet is high in protein i.e. you eat a lot of red meat/ beans and pulses?
However, as they are only raised a little maybe try to drink a little more water and if you are eating a fair bit of protein cut this down, this may help reduce the Albumin levels.
What did your GP say?
I would suggest monitoring the levels in case hey increase and going to your GP or A&E if you start to feel unwell, irritable or confused. Also if you become very thirsty, have a dry mouth, your urine becomes less frequent or darker or your eyes look ‘sunken’.
Kind regards
