  3. Albumin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albumin

    Albumin is a family of globular proteins, the most common of which are the serum albumins. All of the proteins of the albumin family are water-soluble, moderately soluble in concentrated salt solutions, and experience heat denaturation. Albumins are commonly found in blood plasma and differ from other blood proteins in that they are not ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright's_disease

    [3] [4] Many of these cases were found to have albumin in their urine (detected by the spoon and candle-heat coagulation), and showed striking morbid changes of the kidneys at post-mortem. [5] The triad of dropsy, albumin in the urine and kidney disease came to be regarded as characteristic of Bright's disease. [3]

  6. Oncotic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oncotic_pressure

    Oncotic pressure, or colloid osmotic-pressure, is a type of osmotic pressure induced by the plasma proteins, notably albumin, [1] in a blood vessel's plasma (or any other body fluid such as blood and lymph) that causes a pull on fluid back into the capillary.

  7. Serum albumin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_albumin

    Serum albumin is produced by the liver, occurs dissolved in blood plasma and is the most abundant blood protein in mammals. Albumin is essential for maintaining the oncotic pressure needed for proper distribution of body fluids between blood vessels and body tissues; without albumin, the high pressure in the blood vessels would force more ...

    Preparation of serum cups for a lipids panel designed to test cholesterol levels in a patient's blood. Serum (/ ˈ s ɪər ə m /) is the fluid and solvent component of blood which does not play a role in clotting. [1] It may be defined as blood plasma without the clotting factors, or as blood with all

  9. Hypoalbuminemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoalbuminemia

    Once released, albumin distributes itself between the intravascular space (40%) in blood vessels, and extravascular spaces (60%) within the body's different tissues. In the blood plasma, albumin makes up 55 to 60% of total plasma protein by mass, with globulins making up a large part of the rest. In hypoalbuminemia, the amount of albumin in the ...
