Answer:
Albumin is the not formed element in blood cells. We require protein to restore injuries or incisions, to make blood cells that carry oxygen or fight infection and to maintain virtually every cell in the body. Critical illness increases our need for protein.
Step-by-step explanation:
Albumin is one of the first types of proteins that fall during illness. We measure it because it can help us assess the nutritional status of a patient. We also measure it because it can inform us about the severity of a patient's illness.
When a patient is very ill, the level of albumin is usually very low. This may be because they are using their protein at a very high rate or because some protein is "leaking" into inflamed tissues. It may also be because they have organs that do not work as well as normal (such as poor circulation or decreased liver, kidney or bowel function).
