What is PREALBUMIN?

The Prealbumin test measures a protein made by your liver that helps transport thyroid hormones and vitamin A. It's a sensitive indicator of your current nutritional status and liver function.

Why is this test important?

This test is crucial for assessing protein-calorie malnutrition, monitoring the effectiveness of nutritional support, and evaluating liver health. Changes in prealbumin levels can reflect rapid shifts in your body's protein status.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
