People and Pets with CKD commonly have low albumin levels because of the loss of protein (albumin) in urine.
Medical term its called Hypoalbuminemia (Low Albumin)
What is Low Blood Albumin?
Low blood albumin, or hypoalbuminemia, is not itself a disease but is a symptom of an underlying disease or other causative factor.Since the liver is responsible for manufacturing albumin and maintaining optimum levels in the blood, liver disease is often suspected.
However, low blood albumin can also be the result of malfunctioning kidneys, digestive problems such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), pancreatitis, malnutrition, or extensive damage to the skin from burns, infection or mites. Because diagnosing the underlying cause is critical to proper natural solution, a trip to the veterinarian is in order.
Albumin is a blood protein that is manufactured in the liver. The main functions of albumin are circulating necessary molecules throughout the bloodstream in support of metabolic processes and binding with water to stabilize blood pressure by preventing leakage from blood vessels. Low levels of albumin in the blood can be caused by inadequate production of albumin in the liver or by loss of albumin through the kidneys, digestive tract, leaking blood vessels, or seeping skin. While fluid leaking from the skin is easy to identify as a problem, other less obvious signs of low blood albumin range from swelling of the chest or abdomen, puffiness in the legs, lethargy, lack of appetite or vomiting.
Symptoms of Low Blood Albumin in Cats
Since low blood albumin is essentially a side effect of some other underlying malady, symptoms of the condition will vary depending on the cause.
Cats with low blood albumin may exhibit:
Swelling of the abdomen
Distended chest cavity
Edema in the limbs, which is swelling from leaking fluid rather than from injury or trauma
Panting, or shortness of breath
Lethargy
Poor appetite
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Fluid seeping from the skin due to injury, infection or infestation
Causes of Low Blood Albumin in Cats
Hypoalbuminemia is caused by a disruption of albumin production in the liver, or through a depletion of the protein via blood loss or blood disease.
The most common causes include:
Liver disease
Cholangiohepatitis, which is a malfunction of the liver that also includes the pancreas and/or gallbladder
Chronic pancreatitis
Inflammatory bowel disease
Kidney disease
Intestinal parasites
Malnutrition or diet too low in protein
Pyoderma, or skin infection
Skin parasites such as demodectic or sarcoptic mange
Widespread burns to the skin
Low albumin levels can result in swelling of the feet or hands, fatigue, loss of appetite and dry/itchy skin.
Astragalus herb has been shown to increase albumin levels in the blood so may help with reducing the symptoms caused by low albumin.* Reference: https://www.kidneycoach.com/herbal-medicine/astragalus-and-its-role-in-chronic-kidney-disease?
