Albumin Injection – Are There Natural Alternatives to Increase Albumin Levels? - #15971

A few weeks ago, my uncle was hospitalized due to severe weakness and swelling in his legs. After several tests, the doctors informed us that his albumin levels were critically low, which was causing fluid retention and fatigue. They suggested an albumin injection to stabilize his condition. I had never heard of this before, so I started researching albumin and its role in the body. From what I understand, albumin is a protein produced by the liver that helps maintain fluid balance and transports nutrients in the blood. The doctors explained that low albumin levels can result from liver disease, kidney problems, or even malnutrition. But they didn’t explain how to increase it naturally. After the albumin injection, his condition improved, but the doctors warned us that if his albumin levels don’t stay stable, he might need repeated injections. This made me wonder: are there natural ways to increase albumin levels without relying on albumin injections? I’ve read that Ayurveda has treatments that focus on strengthening the liver and kidneys, which are essential for maintaining albumin production. Are there specific herbs or dietary changes that can help the body naturally produce more albumin? Should we focus on liver-supporting herbs like Punarnava, Bhumyamalaki, or Guduchi? Also, what role does diet play? Should he be eating more protein-rich foods like lentils and dairy, or are there Ayurvedic alternatives that can help? I also heard that dehydration can affect albumin levels. How much water should someone with low albumin drink daily? Another concern is whether albumin injections have any long-term side effects. If someone keeps getting these injections, does it reduce the body’s ability to produce albumin naturally? If anyone has successfully managed low albumin levels through Ayurveda or dietary changes, please share your experiences. I would love to know what actually works so we can help my uncle avoid more medical interventions.
