Feeling tired, swollen, or losing weight without reason? It might not be just dietโit could be low albumin. โ ๏ธ
๐ก What is albumin?
Itโs a protein made by your liver that:
๐น Keeps fluid from leaking out of blood vessels
๐น Helps carry hormones & medications
๐น Supports healing
๐ When albumin is low:
Your liver may not be producing enough (liver disease)
Your diet may lack protein & calories (malnutrition)
Chronic inflammation could be draining your reserves
Symptoms may include swelling in the legs, fatigue, or delayed wound healing.
โ
The good news: With proper nutrition and liver care, low albumin can often be improved.
