Q: What are the natural forms of albumin? Recently, my mother got her tests done since she is suffering from severe dysentery. Her test results were - calcium: 10.3, phosphorus: 2.34 (out of range) and albumin-3.33. Please let me know what is to be done?

A:Your mother's albumin level could have been low due to loose stools. All foods rich in protein like eggs, milk, pulses and fish contain albumin.
