Bisalbuminemia is a qualitative albumin variation defined by coexistence of two types of serum albumin with different electrophoretic mobilities in the same individual. It can be of two different types: hereditary (or permanent) and acquired (or transient).

Herein is described a rare case of hereditary bisalbuminemia in a healthy infant, incidentally found during elevated aminotransferase study.

Despite not having pathological significance, acknowledgement of this analytical alteration is key for adequate management of these patients.

Palavras-chave : blood protein disorder; electrophoresis; serum albumin.
