Answer: decreasing colloid osmotic pressure and edema will occur.

Explanation: Albumin is any of a class of monomeric proteins that are soluble in water, and are coagulated by heat; they occur in egg white, milk etc; they function as carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones and play a role in stabilizing extracellular fluid volume.

Reduction in the concentration of albumin in blood plasma would alter capillary exchange by decreasing colloid osmotic pressure and edema will occur. Less H2O will be attracted to Albumin causing H2O retention.
