What causes high albumin levels?
Disease description:
A few days ago, my employer arranged a medical checkup at the hospital. Today the results came back showing high albumin levels. I would like to ask, what causes elevated albumin levels?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Mingxuan
High albumin levels are usually due to relative increases caused by hemoconcentration. When a person experiences severe dehydration or shock, the blood becomes concentrated, leading to elevated albumin levels. In such cases, fluid replacement and other appropriate treatments are necessary. Additionally, consuming large amounts of high-protein foods can also result in temporarily increased albumin levels in the blood.
