plasma protein

Contribute to the viscocity of the plasma 2.Responsible for osmotic return of filtered fluid from interstitial fluid compartment 3.Create suspension stability in blood aiding maintainance of dispersion of materials 4.Reserve of amino acid for the body 5.Blood buffers (15% of blood buffering capacity) 6.Transport of CO2 in blood 7.Transport of Hormones , urea, lipids, glucose

albumin, globulin and fibrinogen

From d liver ●Most abundant (55-64%) ●4-5g/100mls of blood (3.5-5g/dl) ●D smallest size wit molecular weight of 69000- 70000 ●Total exchangeable albumin pool=4-5g/kg bodyweight ●38-45% intravascular ●10% of exchangeable pool degraded daily ●Replacement comes from hepatic cells producing 200 to 400mg/kg/day ●Synthesis decreases in fasting and increase in nephrosis because of loss in urine
