Most important function of albumin in body is: (A) Oncotic pressure, (B) Drug transport, (C) Toxic transport, (D) Coagulation
Answer is A. Osmotic pressure is determined by the number of molecules dissolved in a fluid rather than by the mass of these molecules. Therefore, when corrected for number of molecules rather than mass, the following chart gives both the relative mass concentrations (g/dl) of the different types of proteins in normal plasma and their respective contributions to the total plasma colloid osmotic pressure (Πp).
