HYPOALBUMINEMIA

Hypoalbuminemia is a deficit of albumin in the blood

There are many causes of low serum albumin levels. These causes may include: 

1. Poor nutritional state 2.Increased excretion (or loss) of

albumin from your body

SARCOMA

A cancer that arises from cells that do not line the surface of organs or glands. Tumors of this type arise from muscle, tendon, ligaments, cartilage or fat.

AMYLOIDOSIS

Amyloidosis is a rare and potentially fatal disease that occurs when substances called amyloid proteins build up in your organs.

How Tumor Relates to Hypoalbuminemia

• Tumor in the liver affect the syntesis of albumin by the hepatocyte cell

• Hypoalbuminemia results from direct losses of albumin from tissue damage

• Tumor in kidneys affect the filtration process

There are 2 ways in which albumin that is produced in the liver enters the vascular

system:

• via hepatic lymphatic vessels

• directly into the blood vessels in the liver
