Hyperalbuminemi
Hyperalbuminemia is the medical term for an abnormally high concentration of albumin in the blood. In adults, normal serum albumin levels are roughly 3.5 to 5.0 g/dL (about 35 to 50 g/L). Hyperalbuminemia is uncommon and is generally not considered a disease in itself but a laboratory finding that prompts evaluation of possible underlying causes.
The most frequent cause is dehydration or plasma volume depletion, which leads to hemoconcentration and elevated
Clinically, hyperalbuminemia is interpreted in the context of hydration status and other laboratory data. Since albumin
Diagnosis generally involves repeating the test with careful sample handling, evaluating hydration status, and checking related
Treatment is directed at the underlying cause. For dehydration, rehydration typically normalizes albumin levels. If the
