ABSTRACT
Bisalbuminemia is a rare, typically benign condition marked by the presence of a bifid albumin band on serum protein electrophoresis. It can either be inherited due to a point mutation or acquired in association with various medical conditions, most commonly diabetes mellitus. Bisalbuminuria, the presence of bifid albumin in urine, may or may not accompany bisalbuminemia. Both conditions are often discovered incidentally during screening for monoclonal gammopathy. Bisalbuminemia and related variants provide insights into albumin's genetic diversity and functional roles, influencing clinical diagnostics and research in human genetics. Understanding these variants aids in distinguishing benign conditions from potential disease states, guiding appropriate clinical management. In this case-based review, we present a case of hereditary bisalbuminemia identified unexpectedly during an investigation of a positive Direct Antiglobulin Test Coombs in an adult female patient. This review aims to highlight the key features of bisalbuminemia, a rare condition that should be recognized by clinicians.
