A member asked:
My albumin was 3.2 which is .2 too low. just a couple of months ago it was normal. can a change in diet cause that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: If you have decreased your protein intake this could be reflected in a decreased albumin. A more accurate reflection can be achieved by measuring pre-albumin.
