Albumin ELISA

The Albumin ELISA kit is an enzyme immunoassay intended for the quantitative determination of albumin in urine and stool.

Albumin is the major protein in human plasma. Changes in the concentration of albumin in urine and faeces are a result of distribution disorder, less synthesis problems. Stronger albumin loss leads to increased synthesis, for example in case of nephrotic syndrome.

Elevated levels of albumin and hemoglobin in stool are observed not only in colorectal carcinomas, but also in polyps and during chronic inflammatory diseases (Morbus Crohn or Colitis Ulcerosa). Albumin in faecal samples refers to an inflammatory reaction combined with intestinal bleeding.
