A member asked:

I had a urinalysis and it said that i have an albumin trace. what is albumin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A protein: Normal kidneys are not supposed to lose protein. Albumin is a form of protein. If you are losing traces of albumin, it means the membranes in the kidney that usually retain and hold the protein from spilling into the urine has become leaky, which is usually a result of inflammation and damage. See a doctor to run more tests to prevent the condition from worsening.
