The Human Albumin EIA Kit is a colorimetric sandwich ELISA kit for quantitative measurement of human albumin that can be utilized as a simple tool to monitor albumin levels in human serum and body fluids.
Albumin is a protein of about 66,000 Daltons present in blood at a very high concentration. In addition to maintaining blood osmotic pressure, it is also known to play a role in transporting fatty acids and a variety of other substances by forming complexes with them.
Albumin, which is hepatically synthesized and renally removed, serves as an indicator of liver function. Albumin has attracted attention as a potential early diagnostic marker to detect diabetic nephropathy since studies have shown that a slight trace of albumin in urine was detected before urinary protein increased.
