Albumin is a protein made by the liver that helps maintain fluid balance by keeping water in your blood vessels and transports important substances like hormones and vitamins throughout the body. A slightly high level is usually not a problem and often occurs due to mild dehydration, a high-protein diet, or temporary stress on the body. If you are concerned, consult your doctor to ensure there are no underlying conditions.

If 20 percent albumin is unavailable, doctors may use diuretics to remove excess fluid, consider alternative fluids such as isotonic saline or lower-concentration albumin, support the nervous system with a high-protein diet or supplements, and address the underlying cause of oedema, such as heart, liver, or kidney problems. Regular monitoring of electrolytes and kidney function helps protect overall health and supports recovery.
