<s>[INST] My daughter has Addissons Disease, alomg with absorption problems, recently she went through an Addissons crisis, and her Albumin levels fell to 11, also a lot of her other levels in her body went very low.At the moment she is being fed through an NJ Tube, but she has a lot of swelling inher body, they say that this will subside when her Albumin levels raise. They have risen to 28, but recently they have been going up and down, from m28 to 21 then back to 23 and this week, back to 21, she also has developed an infection in her leg, which I believe can make Albumin levels fall quickly, is this true, and is there anything else you can tell me please I would be gratefull. [/INST] Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  Inter current infection and illness leads to drop in the albumin level. Hypoalbuminemia leads to swelling and oedema.You should take treatment of your illness. Take high protein diet.  If needed you can take injectable albumin.  Once your albumin level comes to normal, your swelling will subside. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health. </s>
