How do one manage to raise low albumin levels?
I know protein, salt, gelatin should do it but how much is needed to raise it?
I eat 100-150g protein a day from milk protein mostly but albumin is low.
RP mention in his eclampsia article
"but simply eating extra protein quickly restores blood albumin. For example, in a group of women who were in their seventh month of pregnancy, the normal women's serum osmotic pressure was 247 mm. of water, that of the women with nonconvulsive toxemia was 215 mm., and in the women with eclampsia, the albumin and osmotic pressure were lowest, with a pressure of 175 mm. In the eighth month, the toxemic women who ate 260 grams of protein daily had a 7% increase in osmotic pressure, and a group who ate 20 grams had a decline of 9%.(Strauss) In a group of preeclamptics, plasma volume was 39% below that of normal pregnant women."
260g protein is a pretty big amount. But does it just take a high amount of protein for a short amount of time to restore blood albumin and then once restored you can eat normal amount of protein?
