Recent studies have shown that patients with
normal albumin levels and without vitamin B12 deficiencies have a 50:50 chance of responding to diet alone (no drugs needed).
There is no clinical or biochemical (normal haematocrit, low -
normal albumin) evidence of dehydration.

Powell says that the
albumin seems somehow to interfere with the
normal activity of that clotting factor.
The cells were permeabilized and blocked with 0.1 % Triton X-100, 1 % bovine serum
albumin (BSA, Sigma), and 10 %
normal donkey serum (Sigma) in PBS for 45 min at RT and washed once with 0.1 % Triton X-100, 1 % BSA, and 1 %
normal donkey serum in PBS.
Total T, free T,
albumin, and SHGB all
normal range.
For instance, if the level is accurate, your
albumin is 4.5, and you have SHBG dysfunction (an extreme elevation of this particular protein, I used a level of 250 nmol / L), you could have a calculated free testosterone of 1.69 ng / dL, which is
normal.
The results you gave along with the appropriate reference ranges (ranges may vary slightly according to equipment): Post Bile Acid 30 umol / l (usually up to 20 umol / l depending on time interval), Total Protein 4.8 g / dL (5.4 — 7.5 g / dL),
Albumin 2.9 g / dL (2.3 — 3.1 g / dL), Globulin
Normal (2.7 — 4.4 g / dL),
Albumin / Globulin Ratio
Normal, Creatinine 0.5 mg / dL (0.5 — 1.7 mg / dL), AST 58 U / L (13 — 15 U / L), Urine Specific Gravity 1.045 (1.015 — 1.060).
Hello, I would like to know if the following values are cause for great concern: Post Bile Acid - 30 - H Total Protein - 4.8 (
normal > 5.3)- L
Albumin - 2.9 (
normal > 3.1)- L Globulin & A / G
normal Creatinine -.5 (
normal >.6)- L AST - 58 (
normal < 51)- H Specific Gravity - 1.045 Urine Protein - 1 + Bilirubin - Small ictotest - Positive Heme - Small WBC & RBC - < 5 Thank you Gigi
This is probably not an important side effect in a
normal animal but if a patient already has a disease that lowers blood
albumin, it is probably best not to lower
albumin further.
However, as that disease progresses, decreases in
albumin due to general health decline can bring A: G ratios closer to
normal again (But the A: G ratio is still one of the few ways, baring multiple biopsies, for your vet to add to his / her suspicions that your cat is suffering from FIP when inflammatory fluids are accumulating in its body or when neurological signs point to that disease; it is not that helpful when the cat's symptoms are vague and might be due to a number of health issues [ref]-RRB-.
Many dogs and cats with failing livers will also have lower than
normal blood
albumin levels because their liver can no longer synthesize sufficient
albumin.
Your pet's A: G ratio will also go down if globulin remains
normal but
albumin decreases - as sometimes occurs in liver disease, chronic kidney disease.
When kidney PLN signs predominate, dogs often have low blood
albumin levels, low globulin levels and higher than
normal cholesterol levels.
Weight loss is often accompanied by lower - than -
normal blood
albumin protein levels (although kidney protein leakage accounts for some of that drop, poor appetite does as well).
Possible reasons include the corrected
albumin levels of some patients as a result of abdominal surgery and postop treatment, low
normal median preop
albumin concentration, and the small sample size and low complication rate.
Since
normal kidneys allow very little
albumin protein in your pet's blood to escape into its urine, there are tests that check for its increased presence without comparing it to the amount of creatinine that is present.
Higher than
normal blood
albumin levels have the ability to cause higher blood calcium levels.
The most common cause for a higher than
normal blood
albumin level in pets is dehydration (hemoconcentration, due to lack of water intake, diarrhea or vomiting).
When your pet's blood
albumin level is
normal, the most common cause for abnormally high blood calcium level is a tumor (cancer, malignancy)(due to a paraneoplastic syndrome = PNS (ref)-RRB-.
Just be sure the pet's body weight, blood
albumin and RBC levels do not go below
normal.
