Darlene Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 what does albumin have to do with the liver? thought it was the kidneys. my liver function was high due to a medication called isoniazid, but has returned to normal since i quit taking it.what is plasma volume?

Lemons2lemonade Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 northern: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003480.htm (albumin is made in the liver and low levels can indicate liver dysfunction, high levels typically only mean dehyrdration) You are right though, it also involves the kidneys.Plasma volume is the measure of volume of plasma in the blood. Plasma is the liquid portion of blood consisting of various inorganic salts, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and proteins; the solid portion of blood is composed of cells. Normal plasma volume in an average adult is usually 3 liters, while total blood volume is about 5 liters. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/history/shuttle-mir/references/glossaries/science/sc-gloss-n_s.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemons2lemonade Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Also are you a milk drinker? Vitamin D comes from sunlight and is fortified in milk to help with deficiency. Vitamin D is necessary for calcium to be used within your body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
