Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Albuminuria is the presence of albumin in urine, which indicates an abnormality in the kidney function that causes the loss of proteins. Hypoalbuminemia is a low level of albumin in the blood, which occurs when there is excessive loss of albumin from the body, such as in cases of albuminuria. Generalized edema, or anasarca, is an accumulation of fluid in the tissues, which can occur when there is a decrease in plasma oncotic pressure due to hypoalbuminemia. Therefore, the presence of albuminuria and anasarca is usually accompanied by hypoalbuminemia.
