Canine albumin is the most abundant plasma protein in dogs, primarily synthesized by the liver. It plays a critical role in maintaining oncotic pressure, transporting hormones, drugs, and various metabolites, and serving as a reservoir of amino acids. Changes in albumin levels can reflect alterations in liver function, kidney health, nutritional status, or systemic inflammatory processes, making it a valuable biomarker for overall physiological and metabolic health in canines.
The canine albumin ELISA allows for precise quantification of albumin levels in serum, plasma, or other biological fluids. In research settings, this assay is used to study liver and kidney function, protein metabolism, and the effects of disease or experimental treatments on systemic protein balance. It is also valuable in veterinary research investigating nutrition, inflammatory responses, or the pharmacokinetics of albumin-binding drugs in dogs.
In clinical settings, measuring canine albumin helps veterinarians assess liver and kidney health, detect protein-losing enteropathies or nephropathies, and monitor nutritional status in sick or aging dogs. Albumin ELISAs can provide sensitive and early detection of hypoalbuminemia, guiding diagnostic and therapeutic decisions and enabling better management of chronic diseases, acute illness, or post-surgical recovery in canine patients.
