What causes high prealbumin in pregnant women?

Generally, prealbumin in pregnant women is a type of liver function test item. It is mainly synthesized by liver cells and can well show the protein status. So why is prealbumin high in pregnant women?

The main reason for high prealbumin is blood concentration. Another possibility is that the strong metabolic capacity of the liver is also the cause of high prealbumin.

If the high level of prealbumin is caused by improper diet, malnutrition, etc., then it will return to normal on its own as long as you pay attention to dietary regulation and health care. In addition, severe dehydration and shock, massive bleeding, severe burns, etc. can all lead to high levels of prealbumin.

For hepatitis B patients or people who are suspected of being infected with hepatitis B, if the prealbumin level in liver function tests is high, they should be taken seriously. Because prealbumin is synthesized by the liver, high prealbumin may be caused by liver function. It can be used as an early indicator of liver damage and indicate changes and prognosis of some diseases. Prealbumin is more sensitive than serum albumin and can reflect liver cell damage at an early stage.

The above are the reasons for high prealbumin. From the above, we can know that malnutrition is the main cause of high prealbumin. Therefore, in daily life, we should reduce the intake of junk food and eat more nutritious food, such as eggs, fish, rice and other foods. Don't be picky about food, eat more fruits and vegetables, and insist on exercising to improve your immunity. In this way, you can better prevent diseases and get closer to health.
