低アルブミン血症
Hypoalbuminemia (or hypoalbuminaemia) is a medical sign in which the level of albumin in the blood is low. This can be due to decreased production in the liver, increased loss in the gastrointestinal tract or kidneys, increased use in the body, or abnormal distribution between body compartments. Patients often present with hypoalbuminemia as a result of another disease process such as malnutrition as a result of severe anorexia nervosa, sepsis, cirrhosis in the liver, nephrotic syndrome in the kidneys, or protein-losing enteropathy in the gastrointestinal tract. One of the roles of albumin is

低アルブミン血症（ていアルブミンけっしょう）とは、医学用語のひとつで、ヒト血漿においてアルブミンの濃度が異常に下がることをいう。種々の低蛋白血症のひとつ。 アルブミンはヒト体内における主要な蛋白のひとつであり、血清においては蛋白のおよそ60%を占める。多くのホルモン、薬剤や分子化合物は血中でアルブミンと結合している。生物学的に活性を示すにはアルブミンから分離する必要がある。一例として、カルシウムはアルブミンと結合しており、低アルブミン血症は血中カルシウムイオンの増加をきたす。
