Blood test

What does increased albumin in a blood test mean?

My were 4.8 g/dl , and normal rage were 3.2-4.6.

Thank you for being there, all of you.

My blood test results print out states that normal albumin is 3.5-5.0 so you are at that rate within limits if towards top of range.

I believe that poor hydration is a major cause of high levels - so drink plenty of water, which we all ought to be doing anyway.

Normal albumin levels vary from 3.5 g/dl to 5.4g/dl.

A dehydrated body or too much alcohol consumption on a regular basis can cause high albumin levels. Leukemia can also bring disturbances in albumin levels. Diet lacking in vitamin A can also raise albumin to abnormally high levels.

Several drugs including androgens, growth hormones, anabolic steroids, and insulin can also increase albumin levels.

Have you discussed this with your doctor? If not then discuss your blood test results with your doctor so that he can explain everything in detail.

Best of luck!
