Combined bisalbuminemia and Bisalbuminuria: A rare finding on serum and urine electrophoresis

CONCLUSION: Bisalbuminemia and bisalbuminuria are rare findings with few case reports available in the English literature. These findings may occur secondary to inherited albumin variants or may be acquired. Diabetes mellitus is the medical condition most associated with acquired bisalbuminemia and bisalbuminuria. Although most cases of bisalbuminemia and bisalbuminuria are clinically insignificant, some albumin variants may have altered affinity for steroid hormones (e.g., thyroxine) and/or drugs which potentially could be clinically significant.PMID:37952813 | DOI:10.1016/j.cca.2023.117635
