Description
Albumin reflects the major protein in human plasma (40-60%).
Albumin is synthetized in the liver depending on protein uptake. Albumin in fecal samples refers to an inflammation reaction combined with intestinal bleeding. Elevated levels of albumin and hemoglobin in stool is found not only by colorectal carcinoma, but also with polyps and during chronic inflammatory diseases (Crohn’s disease or Colitis).
