Albumin Clinic
Lifenity Liver Health Connect – Albumin Clinic
Albumin is a vital protein made by the liver that plays a key role in maintaining fluid balance, carrying hormones and nutrients, controlling inflammation, and preventing blood volume loss. In patients with liver diseases such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, or liver failure, albumin levels drop significantly—a condition called hypoalbuminemia. This can lead to serious complications like swelling (edema), ascites (fluid in the abdomen), infections, malnutrition, and even kidney failure.
Globally, albumin therapy is a standard of care for managing these complications. In India, 10–12% of the population may suffer from chronic liver conditions, with rising cases driven by alcohol-related liver disease, hepatitis B/C, and fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH). In cities like Mumbai alone, over 1,000 patients per year require repeated albumin infusions due to severe liver complications like Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) and Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS). Yet, access to structured, multidisciplinary liver care remains limited and fragmented.
Lifenity’s Albumin Clinic addresses this critical gap by offering dedicated liver care centers focused on day-care based albumin infusion therapy, supported by personalized hepatologist consultations, FibroScan® liver stiffness testing, nutritional and lifestyle counseling, and home-based care. Patients receive precise liver health scoring using tools like MELD, FIB-4, and NFS to guide treatment. For those needing liver transplant evaluation, we offer application-based coordination and pre-transplant assessments.
Our centers are built with advanced infrastructure—5-bed infusion chairs, EMR, patient management software, and trained infusion nurses, all under the guidance of senior hepatologists. Services are designed for both walk-in and chronic care patients, with home infusion and teleconsultation options to reduce hospital burden and improve patient convenience.
Patient Benefits:
- Faster symptom relief (from ascites, swelling, fatigue)
- Reduced hospitalization and emergency visits
- Convenient home therapy option for stable cases
- Structured transplant preparation and referral
- Early detection of liver fibrosis with non-invasive tools
- Personalized, compassionate liver care in a calm, day-care setting
