Hypoalbuminemia is found in any liver impairment (e.g. hepatitis), nephrosis, certain chronic diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis), malnutrition, severe hemorrhage and pregnancy. Lowering of serum albumin usually results in lowering of A/G (Albumin/Globulin) ratio. Elevated serum albumin levels apart from indicating dehydration are generally of little significance.
Albumin binds with Bromocresol green Green (BCG) in a buffered medium to produce a green colored complex. The intensity of this color is proportional to the Albumin concentration. STORAGE & STABILITY All the reagents are to be stored at 2-8ºC and are stable till the expiry date mentioned on the label.
